Additional information
Proportion of AUM committed:

Policy on coal and other fossil fuel investments:
The fossil fuel investment policy hasn’t been planned. However, we make efforts to support energy transition by engagement and stewardship activities to reduce coal and fossil fuels exposures of e.g. investee companies, while monitoring the decarbonization activities of investee companies. We believe these activities make positive impacts in the real economy in the long term.
