Fondita Sustainable World

The objective of Fondita Sustainable World is sustainable investment. This objective is primarily achieved through the fund’s strategy of investing only in companies that enable, through their products or services, reduced CO2 emissions in accordance with SFDR article 9.3 and/or more efficient use of natural resources. These are the fund’s two focus areas. In addition, the fund excludes all companies active within fossil energy sources. The emissions of the holding (scope 1 & 2) are monitored regularly, and the holdings must have a clear strategy to reduce emissions. We also require the companies in which the fund invests to act responsibly in terms of their own environmental impact and social responsibility. The fund invests in companies that follow good governance practices.

All investments meet the requirements for sustainable investments set out in Article 2 of the SFDR Regulation and do not cause significant harm to any of the other environmental or social objectives.

Investment decisions take into account environmental and social issues and the risks associated with them. ESG  risks are defined under the SFDR Regulation (Article 2) as an environmental, social or governance event or circumstance which, if it were to occur, would have a significant actual or potential negative impact on the value of the investment. They also refer to a company’s vulnerability to the effects of climate change, depending on its geographical location and its overall business. As part of the ESG analysis of an investment object, the manager, together with the ESG team, identifies each investment object’s sustainability risks, the likelihood of these risks materializing and the magnitude of the impact. All potential investment targets are subject to both an ESG analysis and a business analysis. We continuously assess the holders’ sustainability risks, their likelihood and magnitude as part of our investment process. Any sustainability risks that materialize may have a negative impact on the holding and therefore the fund’s returns. We continuously monitor these risks and, based on our assessment, this may have an impact on our investment decisions. We believe that one of the main sustainability risks that may affect the value of the fund’s investments is related to environmental and climate issues. We manage these risks by excluding certain controversial sectors and conducting a thorough sustainability risk assessment of the sectors in which we invest. ESG analysis of the companies is carried out jointly by the ESG team and the fund manager.

The fund does not have an official benchmark.
