The aim of the Sub-Fund is to enable shareholders to benefit from the growth potential of the emerging equity markets Ex-China with an investment in equities selected by the portfolio management team on a discretionary basis and to outperform the benchmark. The selection is based on the stocks’ characteristics and growth prospects, as well as proprietary analysis of ESG criteria. It is Candriam’s strong belief that this ESG analysis can contribute to better identifying potential risks related to, for instance, corporate governance or risks of controversies as well as opportunities arising from long-term sustainability trends.
