This Sub-Fund is passively managed. The objective of this Sub-Fund is to track Bloomberg MSCI ESG Euro Aggregate Sector Neutral Select Index (the "Index"), and to minimize the tracking error between the net asset value of the sub-fund and the performance of the Index. The anticipated level of the tracking error, under normal market conditions, is indicated in the prospectus of the Sub-Fund. The Index is a Total Return Index : the coupons paid by the Index constituents are included in the index return. The Sub-Fund promotes environmental and/or social characteristics through among others, replicating an Index integrating an environmental, social and governance ("ESG") rating. The Index is a bond index, representative of the fixed-rate investment grade Euro denominated securities universe that follows the rules of the Bloomberg Euro Aggregate Index (the "Parent Index") and applies sector and ESG criteria for security eligibility. The Index methodology is constructed using a "Best-in-class approach": best ranked companies are selected to construct the Index. "Best-in-class" is an approach where leading or best-performing investments are selected within a universe, industry sector or class. It excludes companies falling behind on an ESG level, particularly on the basis of ESG ratings. Using such Best-in-class approach, the Index follows an extra-financial approach significantly engaging that permits the reduction by at least 20% of the initial investment universe (expressed in number of issuers). The ESG key issues include for instance, but are not limited to, water stress, carbon emissions, labor management or business ethics. The limits of the approach adopted are described in the Sub-Fund's prospectus through risk factors such as Sustainable investment risk. The ESG score of companies is calculated by an ESG rating agency, using raw data, models and estimates collected/calculated using methods specific to each provider. Due to the lack of standardisation and the uniqueness of each methodology, the information provided may be incomplete. Assessment of sustainability risks is complex and may be based on ESG data which is difficult to obtain, incomplete, estimated, out of date and/or otherwise materially inaccurate. Even when identified, there can be no guarantee that these data will be correctly assessed. The Index applies exclusions to companies involved in activities considered non-aligned with the Paris Climate Agreement (coal extraction, oil, etc.). For further information on the exclusions applied by the Index pursuant to the EU Paris-aligned Benchmarks (PAB), please refer to the "Guidelines on funds’ names using ESG or sustainability-related terms" section of the Prospectus. More information about the composition of the index and its operating rules are available in the prospectus and at: Bloomberg The Index value is available via Bloomberg (I35394EU). The exposure to the Index will be achieved through a Direct Replication, mainly by making direct investments in transferable securities and/or other eligible assets representing the Index constituents in a proportion extremely close to their proportion in the Index. The Sub-Fund intends to implement a sampled replication model in order to track the performance of the Index and it is therefore not expected that the SubFund will hold each and every underlying component of the Index at all times or hold them in the same proportion as their weightings in the Index. The SubFund may also hold some securities which are not underlying components of the Index. The Investment Manager will be able to use derivatives in order to deal with inflows and outflows and also if it allows a better exposition to an Index constituent. In order to generate additional income to offset its costs, the Sub-Fund may also enter into securities lending operations. In order to hedge the currency of the share against the currency of the index, the Fund uses a hedging strategy which reduces the impact of changes between the currency of the Index and the currency of the share class.
