Responsible Investing

*As at 31 March 2022. All percentages exclude non applicable assets (assets that are managed outside the EU and therefore not in scope of the regulation). The product SFDR categorisation is provided based on the basis of the European Directive (EU) 2019/2088 on the sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector (“SFDR Regulation”) and state of knowledge at the time of enforcement of SFDR regulation on March  SFDR is not a financial product labelling regime, and accordingly, no reliance should be placed on a financial product being given any particular classification under SFDR. If you rely on a particular classification having been given, this is at your own risk. Investors should also be aware that the SFDR classification process is inherently uncertain at present, as SFDR has only come into force relatively recently and it is not yet clear how all aspects of the regime should be interpreted. We may therefore wish to reconsider the classification of the fund from time to time; e.g. to reflect views in the market on SFDR (which are continuing to evolve), new regulatory guidance, amendments to SFDR made over time, or a decision by a court clarifying its interpretation. Investors and other third parties should therefore take this into account when considering the financial product for investment. It is reminded that a decision whether to invest in a product should be based on the legal documentation of that product in its entirety and not only on the sustainability-related disclosures made under SFDR. 

The ESG data used in the investment process are based on ESG methodologies which rely in part on third party data, and in some cases are internally developed. They are subjective and may change over time. Despite several initiatives, the lack of harmonized definitions can make ESG criteria heterogeneous. As such, the different investment strategies that use ESG criteria and ESG reporting are difficult to compare with each other. Strategies that incorporate ESG criteria and those that incorporate sustainable development criteria may use ESG data that appear similar, but which should be distinguished because their calculation method may be different.
