Swiss Small And Mid Cap Equity IPC CHF

The Fund seeks to grow your capital and generate income by investing primarily in Swiss equities or equivalent. The Fund is actively managed and focused primarily on companies with a market capitalization of between CHF 100 million and CHF 10 billion. The Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) approach is embedded in the investment process of the sub fund and the selection of stocks include ESG considerations which can be an important driver for risks associated with an investment and for maintaining or improving Cash Flow Returns on Investment (CFROI® Credit Suisse HOLT) of a company. The qualitative sustainable analysis is partly based on inputs provided by MSCI ESG Research and on the Investment Manager's own analysis. The primary sustainable objective of the Fund is to promote a carbon footprint lower than the SPI Extra (the "Benchmark”). The Investment Manager performs a negative screening and a norm-based screening to filter the investment universe. ESG related information is entering the suitability screen of the stock selection process. The portfolio construction will consider ESG criteria as well as the contribution to risk that arises from ESG exposures. Company specific and portfolio factors including ESG developments are considered when constructing and monitoring the portfolio. The ESG analysis covers 100% of the Fund’s portfolio. A performance fee in reference to the Benchmark is applied to some share classes. The Benchmark is representative of the investment universe and not representative of the risk profile of the Fund. The performance of the Fund is likely to be significantly different from that of the Benchmark because the Investment Manager has significant discretion to deviate from its securities and weighting. The Benchmark is not aligned with the environmental and/or social characteristics promoted by the Fund. The Fund’s base currency is CHF. As an equity fund, its holdings can move in line with or return less than the broad stock market, so investors should be aware that the value of their holdings could fall and that they may not get back their initial investment.
