BGF Systematic Global Sustainable Income & Growth Fund A5G USD/  LU2496683462  /

The Fund seeks to provide income and capital growth from its investments in a manner consistent with the principles of environmental, social and governance (ESG) focused investing. The Fund will invest globally, directly and indirectly, in the full spectrum of permitted investments including on average, typically two thirds of its total assets in equities and one third of its total assets in fixed income transferable securities (also known as debt securities which may include the Fund investing up to 20% of its total assets in some high yield fixed income transferable securities), as well as investing in units of other funds, cash, deposits and money market instruments. The Fund may invest in companies located in developed markets and emerging markets globally. The Fund will use quantitative (i.e.mathematical or statistical) models in order to achieve a systematic approach to stock selection. This means that stocks will be selected and weightings allocated based on their ESG attributes and on forecasts of return, risk and transaction costs. The Fund is actively managed, and the investment adviser (IA) has discretion to select the Fund"s investments. In doing so may take into consideration a composite benchmark comprising 33.3% MSCI World Minimum Volatility Index, 33.3% MSCI All Country World Index, 16.7% BBG Global Aggregate Corporate Index and 16.7% BBG Global High Yield Corp ex Emerging Markets Index Hedged in USD (Index) when constructing the Fund"s portfolio, and for risk management purposes. The IA will create a portfolio that seeks to deliver a superior ESG outcome versus the Index and the weighted average ESG score of the Fund will be higher than the ESG rating of the Index after eliminating at least 20% of the least well-rated securities from the Index and the IA intends the Fund to have a carbon emissions intensity score that is lower than the Index.
