Sustainable, Responsible &/or ESG Policy:
Investment Objective
The Fund aims to achieve a combination of income and growth by investing at least 90% in bonds (loans to governments and companies) issued worldwide, including in
Emerging Market countries, which follow the Investment Manager's "Climate Transition Bond Investment Approach" (the "Investment Approach"). All bonds in the view of the Investment Manager, support the transition to a low carbon economy and society's adaptation to climate change.
Investment Policy
Portfolio Securities
- The Fund invests at least 90% in bonds, including corporate bonds and government bonds issued anywhere in the world, including sub-sovereigns, inflation-linked, convertible, asset backed and mortgage backed bonds.
- The Fund invests at least 70% in corporate bonds issued anywhere in the world.
- The Fund may invest up to 40% in Sub-Investment Grade bonds.
- Non-US Dollar denominated bonds will typically be hedged back to US Dollars.
- Investment in bonds will follow the Investment Approach.
- The Investment Approach identifies companies that are lowering their greenhouse gas emissions or entities that are helping society adapt to the physical risks of
climate change or companies whose products or services are helping reduce emissions in the wider economy. - The Investment Approach also excludes companies with a 'High' rating, as per our proprietary ESG Risk Rating.
- In addition, we apply a set of company exclusions, which are related to normative screening (UN Global Compact, ILO & OECD), State-Owned Enterprises (SOE),
Tobacco, Alcohol, Gambling, Thermal Coal, Oil & Gas, Adult Entertainment and Weapons. - Further detail of this overall process is captured within the Investment Approach, which is published at www.abrdn.com under "Fund Centre".
- This approach is expected to reduce the investment universe by a minimum of 20%.
- Financial derivative instruments, money market instruments and cash may not adhere to this approach.
- The Fund is actively managed.
