Overview
Objective
The Fund is classified as a financial product under Article 8 of the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation. The Fund promotes environmental or social characteristics and has partial sustainable investments as its objective. The Fund integrates ESG factors and risk in the investment process alongside traditional factors. Detailed information on the sustainability related disclosures of the Fund can be found in the Pre-Contractual Document (annex of the prospectus) on https://www.gsam.com/responsible-investing/en-INT/non-professional/funds/documents. The fund invests predominantly in euro-denominated debt securities and Money Market Instruments from issuers pursuing sustainable development while taking into account environmental, social and governance principles. To determine our eligible sustainable universe, companies are screened using exclusionary screening. Companies with serious and structural issues concerning controversial behavior are excluded. We do not invest in issuers involved in activities including but not limited to, the development, production, maintenance or trade of controversial weapons, the production of tobacco products, thermal coal mining and/or oil sands production. Further, more stringent restrictions are applicable for investments in issuers involved in activities related to gambling, weapons, adult entertainment, fur & specialty leather, Arctic drilling and shale oil & gas. The fund primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of corporate bonds of high quality denominated in Euro (with a rating of AAA to BBB-). The fund may invest a limited percentage in corporate bonds with a higher risk and therefore with a higher interest rate (with a quality rating lower than BBB-). Measured over a period of several years we aim to beat the performance of the benchmark Bloomberg Euro Aggregate Corporate. The benchmark is a broad representation of our investment universe. The fund can also include bonds that are not part of the benchmark universe. We actively manage the fund with a focus on bond selection. Our selection process involves both financial analysis and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) analysis. In the selection process, the focus of the analysis is on companies that pursue a policy of sustainable development next to their financial targets. We combine this analysis with a broader market analysis to construct the optimal portfolio. We aim to exploit differences in valuations of the companies issuing the bonds within sectors and differences in valuations between sectors and different quality segments (ratings). Therefore the fund positioning can materially deviate from the benchmark. As issuer specific risk is an important driver of performance, we subject all issuers in the investable universe to an in-depth analysis of business and financial risk. For risk management purposes, issuer, sector and rating deviation limits are maintained relative to the benchmark. You can sell your participation in this fund on each (working) day on which the value of the units is calculated, which for this fund occurs daily. The fund aims at providing you with a regular dividend.
