Sustainable, Responsible &/or ESG Policy:
The attainment of the sustainable investment objective is measured using the following indicators respectively:
- Whether the issuer of the securities is classified as a Multilateral Development Bank. A Multilateral Development Bank (MDB) is an international financial institution chartered by two or more countries for the purpose of encouraging economic development in poorer nations. Multilateral development banks consist of member nations from developed and developing countries. MDBs provide loans and grants to member nations to fund projects that support social and economic development, such as the building of new roads or providing clean water to communities. MDBs are supranational institutions set up by sovereign states, which are their shareholders The objective of the use of proceeds of the MDBs are very aligned to the SDG 17.
The following issuers are classified as MDBs:
- World Bank (incl. IBRD, IDA and IFC)
- Inter-American Development Bank (IADB),
- Asian Development Bank (ADB),
- African Development Bank (AfDB), and
- European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)
Process:
The financial product is passively managed and tracks an index.
It seeks to achieve its sustainable investment objective by tracking the Index and, with regard to ESG criteria, giving exposure to bonds issued by multilateral development banks.
Its investment strategy is to replicate the Index while minimizing the related tracking error.
Securities are only eligible for the Index if they meet the multi-stage issuer selection process defined by Solactive. Finally, the index contains securities only from issuers which are classified as Multilateral Development Banks (MDB) where all G7 countries must be owners of the bank.
