This ESG framework emphasizes sustainability and corporate responsibility in the portfolio selection process. The fund holds a diversified basket of around 70–75 stocks, with significant exposure to the technology, financial services, and healthcare sectors. Notable holdings include major companies such as Danaher Corp, Mastercard, Visa, Alphabet, and Microsoft.
