Objective The Fund aims to outperform (after deduction of costs) the MSCI ACWI Index, as stated in sterling, by at least 2% per annum over rolling fiveyear periods, and aims to have a weighted average greenhouse gas intensity that is lower than that of the MSCI ACWI EU Paris Aligned Requirements Index. Policy The Fund will invest at least 90% in shares of companies anywhere in the world and in any sector, subject to exclusions identified by the ACD's (Authorised Corporate Director) screens. The purpose of the ACD's screens is to ensure that the Fund invests in a way which is, in the ACD's opinion, in alignment with the Paris Climate Agreement by excluding carbon intensive companies that do not, or will not, play a role in the transition to a low-carbon future. Both quantitative and qualitative screens are applied. More information is included in the prospectus. The Fund will be actively managed Other Information You can sell some or all of your shares on any business day in the United Kingdom by contacting our Dealing Department by phone or post.
