| Rationale behind classification according to SFDR | Article 9 The Fund’s sustainable investment objective is to achieve aggregate carbon neutrality by the year 2025 within its investment portfolio by investing at least 75% of its assets in (i) sustainable investments, which are investments that contribute towards the objective of carbon emission reduction by aiming for, and being on track to achieve, 80% emission reductions by 2030 and (ii) investments that the Investment Manager deems to be neutral under its sustainability criteria. The Fund will aim to offset residual portfolio emissions with avoided emissions, in order for the portfolio to achieve net zero emissions by 2025. |
| Engagement | Yes, organized internally Link to engagement policy |
| Voting | n/a Bond fund Link to voting policy |
| Best-in/of-Class | Best-In-Class The fund applies a best-in-class approach that is based on credible exclusions, our internal, proprietary ESG assessment, as well as third party ESG ratings. This approach results in a better sustainability profile for the fund compared to the reference comparator. While we continuously search for improving ESG stories also through engagement, we limit or divest ESG laggards in the fund. To be eligible for investment, companies must fall into the category of climate leaders or improvers and must meet one of the following criteria: 1. Companies committed to carbon neutrality by 2025 (based on scope 1 and 2 emissions) 2. Companies that have set a target to reduce its carbon intensity by at least 80% by 2030 3. Low emitters with projected 2030 carbon intensity at least 80% below the sector average 4. Companies that create emission savings in the economy |
| ESG-Integration | Yes We firmly believe that non-financial considerations including environmental, social and governance issues have a material influence on the sustainability of issuer cash-flows. ESG is fully integrated into our investment process. The strategy is powered by the following pillars: – Proprietary science-based carbon neutral data based screening – Exclusions of controversial sectors and activities – Forward-looking fundamental credit assessment, ESG integration and engagement – Portfolio construction. |

The Fund’s sustainable investment objective is to aim to achieve aggregate carbon neutrality by the year 2025 within its investment portfolio by investing at least 75% of its assets in fixed and floating rate securities issued by governments, government agencies, supra-nationals and companies worldwide which contribute towards the objective of carbon emission reduction by aiming for, and being on track to achieve, 80% emission reductions by 2030. The Fund may also invest in investments that the Investment Manager deems to be neutral under its sustainability criteria, such as cash and Money Market Investments and derivatives used with the aim of reducing risk (hedging) or managing the Fund more efficiently. The Fund will aim to offset residual portfolio emissions with avoided emissions, in order for the portfolio to achieve net zero emissions by 2025.
Aggregate carbon neutrality means achieving net zero carbon emissions intensity by balancing investments in (i) issuers that generate carbon emissions, but that have stated goals to reduce such emissions with (ii) issuers that contribute to reducing carbon emissions.
