Environmental characteristics
Social characteristics
The Fund promotes the above-mentioned characteristics by tracking the MSCI World Small Cap ex Selected Securities A Index (the “Index”), which is a designated reference benchmark for the purpose of attaining the environmental and social characteristics promoted by the Fund. Whilst environmental and social characteristics are promoted through the application of the sustainability-related investment strategy, investors are reminded that these environmental and social characteristics are not sustainable investment objectives.
Environmental characteristicsSocial characteristics
The Fund promotes the above-mentioned characteristics by tracking the MSCI World Small Cap ex Selected Securities A Index (the “Index”), which is a designated reference benchmark for the purpose of attaining the environmental and social characteristics promoted by the Fund. Whilst environmental and social characteristics are promoted through the application of the sustainability-related investment strategy, investors are reminded that these environmental and social characteristics are not sustainable investment objectives.
Through tracking the Index, the Fund seeks to implement the Investment Manager’s “Responsible Investment Framework” which aims to provide a consistent and systematic approach to exclusions, refined criteria and thresholds for setting environmental and social characteristics with a defined terminology and approach to support the implementation of such characteristics across the financial products managed by the Investment Manager.
The Responsible Investment Framework sets out the various types of investment strategies that the Investment Manager’s financial products can follow and the responsible investing methodologies that explain how such investment strategies are defined and implemented.
By tracking the Index, the Fund follows the sustainability-related investment strategy as described below:
The Index is designed to reduce exposure to companies that demonstrate poor environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) efforts. The Index excludes investments on LGIM’s Future World Protection List and additionally excludes companies that are deemed to be ESG laggards. The remaining companies are subsequently re-scaled to 100% in a sector and country neutral manner.
