New name: OMR AXA Framlington Global Sustainable Managed Fund
New Investment Objective: The aim of this Fund is to provide long-term capital growth over a period of 5 years or more. The Fund invests in shares of listed companies which the Manager believes will provide above-average returns. The Fund invests in companies of any size and based anywhere in the world (including emerging markets). The Manager seeks to reduce the impact on the Fund of fluctuations in value of equity markets by investing in bonds issued by developed market governments. The Fund’s typical asset mix ranges between 60 – 85% of its Net Asset Value in shares, with the remainder being mainly in bonds and cash.
The Manager invests in issuers of shares of listed companies which it believes have leading or improving environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices. These companies will either demonstrate leadership on sustainability issues (such as promoting better social outcomes, increasing the amount of renewable energy and using the planet’s resources more sustainably and increased digitalisation) through strong ESG practices (“leaders”) or will have shown a clear commitment to improve their ESG practices (“companies in transition”). The majority of the Fund’s equity investments (50% or more) will be in “leaders”. The Manager will actively engage on sustainability issues with a particular focus on “companies in transition”. When selecting shares, the Manager will also analyse a company’s financial status, quality of its management, expected profitability and prospects for growth.
Use may be made of borrowing, cash holdings, hedging and other investment techniques permitted in the applicable Financial Conduct Authority rules. The IA Mixed Investment 40-85% Shares Sector may be used by investors to compare the Fund’s performance. This fund invests in the underlying retail fund in order to track its performance, this means that fund performance may differ to the underlying fund.
