The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve a long-term return in excess of the MSCI World Index (the “Benchmark”) by investing in an actively-managed portfolio of global equities that meet environmental, social, and corporate governance criteria (the “ESG Criteria”). In order to achieve the investment objective, the Fund will invest primarily in a portfolio of equity and equity-related securities of companies from developed markets worldwide. Securities are selected by the Sub-Investment Manager based on three criteria: 1) compliance with the Fund’s ESG Criteria, 2) attractiveness determined in accordance with the Sub-Investment Manager’s quantitative investment model, and 3) consistency between the portfolio’s expected risk characteristics and the Fund’s investment objectives.
