ESG-Integration Yes A policy of responsible business investment is integral to the investment philosophy and process of the Heptagon European Focus Equity Fund. Integrating ESG principles into our investment process enhances our ability to understanding existing and potential risks and opportunities for potential portfolio companies. The Fund employs a high conviction, bottom-up, low turnover, research driven strategy with a focus on companies that exhibit sustainable long-term growth. Rigorous fundamental analysis is utilised to identify companies believed to have intrinsic value greater than market valuations. ESG considerations are essential to the investment process, the Fund aims to exclude companies that are directly involved in, and/or derive significant revenue from industries or product lines in areas such as gambling, weapons, or tobacco and engages in active dialogue with companies to foster good ESG practices and improve the sustainability profile of companies in the long-term. The Fund also avoids commodity or energy stocks and does not generally invest in purely financial sectors as these are deemed to be closely integrated with a slow-growing economy.
