Overview
The fund is an investment entity that primarily focuses on investing in large capitalization companies. It distinguishes itself by integrating a proprietary multi-factor model that scrutinizes the businesses based on fundamental growth, value potential, and notably, their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics. This approach is aimed at identifying companies that are not only strong in financial terms but are also leading in sustainability and responsible governance practices. The commitment to ESG is further emphasized by the fund’s policy to allocate at least 80% of its assets into sustainable securities. This aligns with the increasing demand from investors who are looking for financial returns while contributing positively to society and the environment. Additionally, the fund operates as a non-diversified entity, meaning it may concentrate its investments in fewer securities than a diversified fund. This strategy can lead to higher risk and volatility due to the potential for greater exposure to the success or failure of individual securities.
