CT (Lux) European Select AGH GBP/  LU0713331832  /

The Fund aims to increase the value of your investment over the long term. The Fund invests at least two-thirds of its assets in shares of companies with growth prospects in Europe, excluding the UK, or companies that have significant operations there. The Fund's "select" investment approach means it will typically hold a small number of investments compared with other funds. The Fund may use derivatives (complex instruments) for hedging purposes and may also invest in asset classes and instruments different from those stated above. The Fund is actively managed in reference to the FTSE World Europe ex UK Index. The index is broadly representative of the companies in which the Fund invests, and provides a suitable target benchmark against which Fund performance will be measured and evaluated over time. The index is not designed to specifically consider environmental or social characteristics. The fund manager has discretion to select investments with weightings different to the index, and that are not in the index, and the Fund may display significant divergence from the index. The Fund promotes environmental and social characteristics by integrating a range of responsible investment measures into the investment process, and ensures that the companies it invests in follow good governance practices. The Fund aims to compare favourably against the index over rolling 12-month periods when assessed using the Columbia Threadneedle ESG (environmental, social and governance) Materiality Rating model, which indicates how much exposure a company has to material ESG risks and opportunities. At least 50% of the Fund is invested in companies that have a strong rating. The Fund also commits to investing at least 20% of its assets in sustainable investments. The Fund excludes companies that derive certain levels of revenue from industries such as, but not limited to, coal and tobacco. It also excludes companies that have direct involvement in nuclear or controversial weapons, and companies determined to have breached international standards and principles. The fund manager engages with companies to encourage improvement of their ESG practices.
