Further remarks on the consideration of SDGs -
Rationale behind classification according to SFDR - Article 8 funds include selection criteria based on the SPICE rating and specific criteria according to the philosophy of each fund. These are mainly multi-thematic funds with SRI labels, with high minimum levels of sustainable investment of 50% or 70%. Sycomore Sélection Responsable promotes environmental and social characteristics and will have a minimum of 70% sustainable investments with an environmental objective in economic activities that do not qualify as environmentally sustainable under the EU taxonomy or sustainable investments with a social objective.

Sycomore Sélection Responsable aims to deliver long-term returns in excess of those of the Euro Stoxx TR index by selecting quality companies that create sustainable value for all their stakeholders and present a discount to their intrinsic valuation. This conviction-based portfolio, unconstrained with respect to style, sector, country or market capitalization, is built on an in-depth fundamental analysis of companies, in particular on extra-financial issues (ESG), allowing a better assessment of risks and the identification of the most attractive long-term opportunities.
Impact Investing
-
the impact is measured and monitored on the 3 pillars (E,S, G) and even on human rights, as the fund managers monitors closely the following impact KPIs : - On the environment pillar: Net Environmental Contribution (NEC) indicator aims to determine the contribution of the activities of a company to the ecological transition, with a rating from -100% to +100% depending of the negative or positive impact of its activities on the environment. - On the social pillar: workforce growth over three years. - On the governance pillar: percentage of women in key management roles. - On human rights: percentage of companies with commitment to respecting human rights (disclosure of a Human Rights Policy). The above ESG indicators selection aims at having a better result on at least two indicators compared to the Sub-fund’s benchmark.

  1. 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.
