Russell Investments Global Listed Infrastructure - B GBP DIS

The Fund aims to achieve long-term capital growth by investing at least 80% of its assets worldwide in the equities of companies or trusts that are engaged in property and infrastructure projects. At least two thirds of the Fund's total assets will be invested in listed companies or trusts that engage in infrastructure projects only. The Fund invests in a variety of companies which operate across various industry sectors, such as utilities (power/water), transportation (road/rail), communications (telecom/cable/satellite), and energy. The Fund may invest more than 20% of its assets in emerging markets (developing countries). The Fund aims to reduce its carbon exposure relative to the Index. Following the selection of the equity securities, a binding decarbonisation overlay strategy will be applied to the portfolio of the Fund to identify securities that will allow the Fund to reduce its carbon exposure compared to the Index and to ensure the Fund will always have no less than a 20 per cent lower aggregate carbon footprint compared to the Index. The Fund will also seek to invest in corporations which follow good governance practices by international standards.
