By maintaining at least 80% of its net assets in such companies, the fund aims to align growth objectives with responsible investment principles, making it suitable for investors seeking to integrate sustainability into their portfolios. The fund features a relatively concentrated portfolio, with a significant portion of assets allocated to its top holdings, enhancing its potential for focused growth.
