Fund aim
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with a return in line with the performance of the Solactive L&G Emerging Markets Future Core ESG (ex Fossil Fuel) Index (the “Index”).
Fund snapshot
- What does it invest in? Invests in shares of companies from emerging markets as represented by the Index, which is alternatively weighted to give greater weight to companies that score well against environmental, social and governance criteria. This means the Fund will invest more in companies that score well against these criteria, and less in companies that do not. The ESG score is aligned to our engagement and voting activities.
- How does it invest? Passively managed, to replicate the performance of the Index. The index also only incorporates companies that do not have excessive exposure or involvement in nuclear power generation, assault weapons, United Nations Global Compact violation, controversial weapons, tobacco production and retailing, recreational cannabis, gambling and fossil fuels.
- Does it promote sustainability characteristics? The Fund promotes a range of environmental and social characteristics which are met by tracking the Index. Further information on how such characteristics are met by the Fund can be found in the Fund Supplement.

The figures shown for market capitalisation (the total share value of a company) may not be comparable between funds as they can be measured and classed in different ways.
