Sustainability: Classification according to the EU Disclosure Regulation
In accordance with the EU Disclosure Regulation, investment funds are classified by the asset management company into three categories with regard to their sustainable characteristics: Article 9 (sustainable), Article 8 (sustainable) and Article 6 (non-sustainable).
Investment funds classified as Article 9 are those which have a sustainable investment objective, while those classified as Article 8 actively promote or at least consider sustainable characteristics.
Sustainability: Consideration of environmentally sustainable economic activities
The EU taxonomy serves to make sustainable economic activities measurable and comparable.
Currently, ecological sustainable criteria such as climate protection or adaptation to climate change are taken into account - further criteria have already been announced.
Investment funds that consider environmentally sustainable economic activities select their investments also according whether their business activities meet the criteria required by the taxonomy and thus make a significant contribution to environmental protection.
Sustainability: Consideration of Principal Adverse Impacts (PAIs)
PAIs (Principal Adverse Impacts) are the key environmental, social and governance factors that have a negative impact on sustainability, such as CO2 emissions, hazardous waste, violation of human rights and corruption.
Investment funds that consider these indicators select their investments to reduce the most important negative effects on sustainability factors on the environmental, social issues and corporate governance.
Investment Region
Here, the fund can focus on a specific region or country, for example on developed markets or on emerging markets.
Risk/Holding Period
The indicated risk and the recommended holding period for our investment funds are based directly on the Synthetic Risk and Return Indicator (SRRI). At an SRRI of 1 or 2, the recommended holding period is at least 2 years, and the risk is assessed as low. At a level of 3 to 6, a holding period of at least 6 years is recommended (moderate or medium risk). Funds can also be classified as having a high level of risk, with a recommended minimum holding period is 8 years. The fund is classified solely on the basis of the SRRI. This is not a reliable indicator of future performance and can change over time. A classification in category 1 does not mean that the investment is risk-free.
Currency Risk
- Yes
The performance of the investment fund can be influenced substantially by currency risks.
- No
The fund enters into no material foreign currency risks, and/or any currency risks that are associated with securities are hedged.
- Subordinated
In order to seize opportunities, currency risks can be accepted to a limited extent. The performance of the investment fund can be influenced to a certain degree by currency risks.
