Additional information
Proportion of AUM committed:
Due to the small % of indirect investments (ETF) and cash, we are not able to commit to 100% in line with Net Zero. Additionally, certain products contain a portion of quantitative investments for which we can not guarantee net zero at all times.
Policy on coal and other fossil fuel investments:
We employ a proprietary research framework known as 4M Analysis (Macro, Market, Moat, and Management), which guides our investment decisions. As part of this strategic approach, we have made conscious exclusions of companies engaged in thermal coal plants and fossil fuel-related activities. Our comprehensive exclusion policy evaluates companies based on revenue thresholds and reserves and aligns seamlessly with the principles set forth in the 4M Analysis.
