Rationale behind classification according to SFDR Article 9 Sustainable investment objective: the strategy contains an article 9 (‘dark green’) fund under EU SFDR focused only on companies with a positive social and environmental outcome as well as being screened for ‘do no significant harm’ criteria, which naturally excludes many of the more controversial technology mega caps. Investment Policy: The Fund invests at least 90% of its net assets in equities or equity-related instruments of technology-related companies, whose products and services are considered by the Investment Manager as contributing to positive environmental or social change, thereby having an impact on the development of a sustainable global economy. The Fund’s investment universe is defined by technology-related companies that derive at least 50% of their current or future expected revenues from the sustainable technology themes identified by the Investment Manager (as further outlined in the Investment Strategy section). The Fund will avoid investing in companies that the Investment Manager considers could contribute to significant environmental or societal harm.
Engagement Yes, organized internally
Voting Yes, organized internally
Best-in/of-Class No N/A
ESG-Integration Yes The negative global impact from the cost of economic externalities such as environmental pollution, violence and armed conflict and smoking is becoming increasingly recognised. We seek to avoid those businesses involved in activities that are harmful to society or the environment via clearly defined standards that govern the companies we exclude from our investment universe. Our exclusions provide ethical, social, environmental, and financial benefits.

Further information on the sustainability approach The strategy has a dual mandate with a sustainable objective and promotes environmental and social characteristics via its portfolio commitments, for example on decarbonisation and board gender diversity. We consider our approach to voting and engagement as ‘evidence-based’, systematic and pragmatic. These are reviewed using a variety of information and data taken either directly from the security issuer or from third parties (research providers, index providers, consultants). We use a variety of information sources including security issuers and third-party research providers and consultants to rank and assess our investee companies. We monitor each company’s performance and ESG disclosure against key metrics. Using our proprietary ranking screen, we rank our investment universe of over 700 companies on a broad range of internal and external ESG data points and principles to identify leaders, those which are transitioning and companies who are lagging, which feeds into both our valuation framework and our engagement. Materiality is assessed based on our proprietary materiality framework, Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), EU Principal Adverse Impacts (PAI), Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), Taxonomy, our dedicated sustainability analyst and teams understanding of ESG and technology. ESG Explore is a dashboard of key ESG indicators and our revenue mapping. Using these tools and through our engagement we implement the do no significant harm criteria and minimum social safeguards (for example via UNGC and OECD MNE Principles), while promoting environmental and social characteristics. Our dedicated sustainability analyst ensures implementation of ESG principles.
