| Rationale behind classification according to SFDR | Article 8 The fund is article 8 currently as we took a prudent approach in assigning it until there was clarification of the definition of sustainable investment. As this has recently been published, we are progressing a project to recategorise to article 9 as we believe we meet the requirements with our proprietary analysis framework. We would hope this project will be complete by the end of 2023. |

| ESG-Integration | No Sustainability analysis is a core tool in our fundamental research process. Each stock considered for the portfolio by the fund managers is researched by our independent Responsible Investment team, which results in a sustainability classification of: Leader, Improver or Laggard. Only Leaders and Improvers are eligible for inclusion in the portfolio. |

| Themes |
-
Each stock in the strategy is assigned to one of our six proprietary sustainability pillars based on the most prominent sustainable impact we consider each holding to have. These themes are Climate change, Eco Solutions. Resource Efficiency, Health & Wellbeing, Inclusion and Sustainable Growth. These six pillars are built on a foundation of good governance which is relevant for all our holdings. We note that there is no set range for weightings to specific pillars – they are simply an outcome of bottom-up stock selection.

| Further information on the sustainability approach | Our sustainability analysis takes a 3 dimensional approach, assessing each company based on its products/services (what it does), practices (how it does it) and improvement (whether it has a track record of sustainability improvement or meaningful ambitions to improve). We focus on sustainability improvers, as research has shown this is an effective way to capture alpha in the long run. Link to sustainability approach |

EU Taxonomy
It is possible that reported KPIs for taxonomy eligibility and alignment (being limited to corporate issuers / including only selected economic activities) are low or that KPIs cannot be reported due to limited data availability. Data may be available with a time lag. Data comparability may be limited due to differences in the scope of the economic activities considered. As soon as data is available in sufficient quantity and quality, it will be published in accordance with regulatory requirements.
