Solutions

By leveraging our integration tools and stewardship approach, our Sustainable Investing Framework provides a foundation to develop innovative solutions to meet a range of sustainability preferences.

The Framework has three product categories, which are outlined below. It is designed to take account of evolving ESG regulations and investor expectations globally, meeting current requirements under the European Union Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), UK Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR) and other local ESG fund rules.

1. ESG Unconstrained includes solutions that aim to generate financial returns and may, or may not, integrate ESG risks and opportunities into the investment process.
2. ESG Tilt includes solutions that aim to generate financial returns and promote environmental and social characteristics through a tilt towards issuers with stronger ESG performance than the solution’s benchmark or investment universe.
3. ESG Target includes solutions that aim to generate financial returns and have ESG or sustainability as a key investment focus or objective.
