Alphinity Global Sustainable Equity Fund

Responsible Investing Approach

The Fund aims to invest in companies that can contribute to achieving one or more of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For a company to be part of the investable universe for this Fund, it must have a net positive alignment to the SDGs, not generate revenues from activities that are excluded from this Fund, as defined by the Alphinity Global Sustainable Equity Fund Charter, be approved by the Sustainable Compliance Committee and exceed the minimum ESG criteria, consistent with Alphinity's firm wide approach to ESG assessment. Alphinity believes that the integration of environmental, social and corporate governance considerations into investment management processes and ownership practices is essential, as these factors can have a significant impact on financial performance. The means of integrating ESG issues into the Alphinity investment process will vary depending on the company being assessed and the materiality of the ESG issue that's identified.
