Performances
For legal reasons, we can not post the performance of the sub-fund
Briefly
The Sub-Fund is managed taking into consideration Responsible and Sustainable principles. In this way, the investment process and resulting stock and bond picking take into account internal scoring with respect to both corporate responsibility and sustainability of the companies.
Corporate Responsibility is astounding information’s pool used to anticipate companies’ risk especially looking at the interplay with their stakeholders: employees, supply chains, clients, local communities, and shareholders…, regardless of the sector of activities.
Besides, the Investment Manager’s conviction is to finance the economy based on a long term perspective which results in the identification of sustainability related thematics.
The extra-financial analysis model used by the Investment Manager for the Sub-Fund is a proprietary tool based on the following:
- Corporate responsibility rating,
- Sustainable transition exposure,
- Controversies analysis,
- Companies’ meeting and newsflow recordings.
The research and the ratings are made internally by the Investment Manager thanks to corporate disclosures and statement which represent the majority of the used information.
The Sub-Fund applies a proprietary tool developed internally by the Investment Manager to make investment decisions. The risk exists that the models used to make these investment decisions do not perform the tasks they were designed to.
The use of the proprietary tool relies on the experience, relationships and expertise of the Investment Manager’s personnel.
Due to the Responsible Investment strategy, the Sub-Fund strictly excludes the following activities:
- Tobacco production,
- Weapons production over than 10% of revenues,
- Coal production over than 10% of revenues,
- Coal in power generation over than 30% of revenues,
- Unconventional oil and gas production over than 10% of revenues,
- Conventional oil and gas production over than 10% of revenues.
The overall investment strategy of the Sub-Fund is to seek to enhance the return on a wealth investment. Through active management of a portfolio of Euro denominated equities and fixed income products, it aims to provide an alternative to investments in bonds and convertible bonds (directly or through mutual funds) as well as an alternative to Euro denominated funds. The Sub-Fund does not benefit from a guarantee on capital invested.
What objective?
The Sub-Fund seeks to outperform the 30% EUROSTOXX 50 (Bloomberg ticker: SX5T Index) + 70% FTSE MTS Global (Bloomberg ticker: EMTXGRT Index) composite index, calculated with dividends reinvested, over the recommended investment period.

The Sub-Fund may invest at any time within the following limits in:

- Up to 50% of its net assets may be composed of fixed income securities belonging to the “speculative grade” (i.e. which have ratings below a Standard & Poor’s minimum A-3 short term rating or BBB- long-term rating or equivalent with a minimum of CCC) or non-rated.
- Up to 5% of its net assets may be invested in securities which may qualify as distressed securities (i.e. which have a Standard & Poor’s notation below CCC long-term rating or equivalent).

The Investment Manager shall not solely base its investment decisions on the ratings assigned by independent rating agencies, but shall also proceed to its own credit risk assessment.
In all cases, the Sub-Fund will not invest in securities which may qualify as “in default” at the time of the investment or during their lifetime in the portfolio. Fixed income securities which may be downgraded during their lifetime will be disposed of as soon as possible with due regards to the interest of shareholders.
- Up to 50% of its net assets in equities or equivalent from issuers belonging to all market capitalisation categories, headquartered in OECD countries and denominated in Euro.
