ASR Duurzaam Azië Aandelen Fonds C

Objective

ASR Duurzaam Azië Aandelen Fonds invests in a diversified portfolio of large and medium-sized companies listed in developed countries. The Fund is classified for Article 8 of the Transparency Regulation as a fund promoting environmental and social characteristics. The Fund's investment strategy is based on the belief that high quality companies, where sustainability and stewardship are embedded in the management strategy, deliver greater long-term economic and social value to shareholders and the world in which we live. The Fund's investment objective is to outperform the MSCI Pacific Net Total Return EUR Index at a lower risk over the long term with limited deviation. At the same time, the Fund aims to reduce carbon emissions and stimulate the energy transition by reducing the CO2 intensity of the portfolio by 50% by 2030 (with 2017 as the base year) and by 2050 being climate neutral, taking into account the investment objective and the restrictions of the Fund. In all cases, the Fund has a substantially lower weighted average CO2 intensity than the broad market index. In doing so, the Fund promotes the agreements from the Paris Agreement to keep the global temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius and to strive for global warming of 1.5 degrees by 2050.
