Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q4

The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Strategy · summarised

The fund invests primarily in U.S. common stocks of companies that the manager rates 1 or 2 on its proprietary ESG scale, which assesses financially material environmental, social, and governance practices using a sector-specific materiality framework informed by SASB standards. At least 80% of assets are held in securities meeting these sustainability criteria. The fund may also hold non-U.S. equities and typically favors growth stocks. Because security selection depends on the manager's ESG ratings and fundamental analysis, fund performance will diverge from broad market returns.
