The Fund is actively managed without reference to a benchmark meaning the investment manager (IM) has absolute discretion to select the Fund’s investments and is not constrained by any target, comparator or performance benchmark. The Fund aims to achieve a return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund's investments, whilst maintaining a growth risk profile (i.e. an evaluation of the risks associated with the portfolio) of 10-15%,in a manner consistent with the Fund’s environmental, social and governance criteria (ESG Criteria). The risk profile of the Fund’s portfolio, for this purpose, is measured as the volatility (i.e. the degree of fluctuation) of the Fund’s returns converted into an annual rate, over a five-year period. The Fund will obtain indirect exposure to a variety of asset classes globally and will predominantly invest in other funds and investment products. At least 80% of the Fund’s assets will, at the time of purchase, be invested in funds tracking indices that meet certain ESG Criteria as disclosed in the prospectus.The Fund will use quantitative (i.e. mathematical or statistical) models in order to inform its approach to stock selection. The composition of the Fund’s investments is determined based on: consistency between the risk profile of the Fund’s portfolio and the investment objective; ESG Criteria; the IM’s investment models; and the IM’s discretionary insights. The Fund will seek to stay within the stated risk profile by varying its asset allocations (i.e. mix of asset classes) in different market conditions. The IM may use financial derivative instruments (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets) to reduce risk within the Fund’s portfolio, reduce investment costs and generate additional income. The Fund may also engage in short-term secured lending of its investments to certain eligible third parties to generate additional income to off-set the costs of the Fund. The price of underlying funds changes regularly depending on the performance of the assets held by the underlying funds which in turn may affect the value of your investment. The Fund invests in fixed income securities, equity securities and collective investment schemes and so the value of your investment may be affected by the factors which impact the value of those asset classes. Volatility management will have a direct impact on the Fund's returns. The Fund’s risk profile may fall outside the stated range from time to time. Volatility is the measure of fluctuations of the returns of a given investment. Generally, the higher the volatility, the riskier the investment. The relationship between the return on your investment, how it is impacted and the period for which you hold your investment is considered below (see “How long should I hold it and can I take my money out early?”).
