The fund mainly invests in a diversified portfolio of Eurozone fixed income instruments, including green bonds, denominated in Euro and European stocks from companies and issuers pursuing policies of sustainable development observing environmental, social and governance principles. The equity portfolio has a European investment universe, mainly investing in equities of companies that are part of the MSCI Europe (NR) Index. Within the fixed income portfolio, the corporate bonds portfolio has a European investment universe, mainly investing in bonds of companies that are part of the Bloomberg Euro-Aggregate. At least annually, the equity and corporate bond portfolios' initial investment universes are reduced by at least 20%, as a result of the application of a 'Best-in-Universe' approach and the below mentioned exclusions and restrictions. When applying the 'Best-in-Universe' approach, the appropriateness of investments in bonds and/or equities are assessed. Issuers that meet the ESG requirements of the Management Company are prioritized and similarly, issuers that do not meet those requirements are not eligible for investment. The ESG requirements in this context are assessed by taking into account, amongst others, the issuer's ESG Rating, economic activities and behavior. The selection process involves both financial analysis and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) analysis which may be limited by the quality and availability of the data disclosed by issuers or provided by third parties. Examples of non-financial criteria assessed in the ESG analysis are carbon intensity, gender diversity and remuneration policy. In the selection process, the focus of the analysis is on companies that pursue a policy of sustainable development and that combine the respect of social princi-ples and environmental principles with their focus on financial targets (positive screening).
