The investment objective of the Fund is to replicate the performance of the MSCI USA Climate Paris Aligned Index (the “Index”), which has a focus on sustainable investment considerations aligned with the Paris Agreement and excludes companies involved in certain business activities, while minimising as far as possible the tracking error between the Fund’s performance and that of the Index.The Index is based on the MSCI USA Index, its parent index, and includes large and mid-cap securities of the U.S. equity markets. The Index is designed to support investors seeking to reduce their exposure to transition and physical climate risks and who wish to pursue opportunities arising from the transition to a lower-carbon economy while aligning with the Paris Agreement requirements. The index incorporates the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures recommendations and is designed to exceed the minimum standards of the EU Paris-Aligned Benchmark.
