Candriam Equities L Eur.Opt.Q.N EUR Acc/  LU0304860561  /

The fund seeks to achieve capital growth by investing in the principal assets traded and to reduce volatility and to partially hedge the risk of a fall compared to the benchmark. The portfolio management combines a quantitative and discretionary approach and is also based on Candriam's internal analysis of environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria. The quantitative approach consists in optimising the portfolio to minimise volatility in respect of the benchmark, using options in particular. The discretionary approach is based on a fundamental analysis aiming to select the best companies according to five criteria: quality of management, growth potential, competitive advantage, value creation and indebtedness. The management team will give preference to securities of companies offering a stable increase in profits. The fund promotes, among other characteristics, environmental and/or social characteristics but does not have sustainable investment as its objective.
