Its portfolio is concentrated in industry-leading technology and consumer companies, with substantial holdings in names such as Microsoft, NVIDIA, Apple, and Amazon, reflecting a growth-oriented investment strategy.
Designed for investors seeking exposure to large growth companies balanced with ESG considerations, the fund evaluates not only financial factors but also a company’s sustainability practices and ethical impact. While it aims to minimize investments in industries like fossil fuels, deforestation, and other sectors with heightened ESG risks, the fund may retain minimal exposure to such industries in pursuit of its overall strategy.
