Objectives and Investment Policy
The objective of the Fund is to track the U.S. equity market performance of certain high dividend-yielding equity securities.
The Fund seeks to track the performance of the S&P ESG High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Index (the "Index") as closely as possible.
The Fund is an index tracking fund (also known as a passively managed fund).
The Fund invests primarily in securities included in the Index. These securities include high-yielding stock from the U.S. equity market that meet the eligibility criteria defined in the S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Index, "the Standard Index", in addition the Index aims to exclude certain stocks based on their ESG characteristics considering both their ESG rating, and their involvement in certain controversial business activities as outlined in the index methodology. The remaining securities are then weighted according to the size of their dividend.
Although the Index is generally well diversified, to enable the Fund to track the Index accurately, the Fund will make use of the increased diversification limits available under the UCITS Regulations, which permit it to hold positions in individual constituents of the Index issued by the same body of up to 20% of the Fund's net asset value.
At least 90% of the Fund's assets are invested in securities that are constituents of the Index, while the index provider applies ESG Ratings on all of the Index constituents. It is expected that the resulting portfolio ESG rating will be higher than than the ESG rating of a Fund tracking the Standard Index.
The index excludes at least 20% of the least well-rated securities compared to the Standard Index universe , so it is therefore expected that the Fund's resulting ESG rating will be higher than the ESG rating of a Fund tracking the Standard Index. There may be potential inconsistencies, inaccuracy or lack of availability of the ESG data, particularly when issued by external data providers. There may also be potential inconsistencies with the ESG screening methodology of the Index (criteria, approaches, constraints).
