Fund details
“Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation” : Regulation 2019/2088 on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector
Morningstar launched the Morningstar Sustainability Rating (MSR) to help investors consider Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) criteria when assessing their investments. Morningstar Sustainability globes are calculated using bottom-up assessments of the underlying securities of a portfolio, supported by the Sustainalytics methodology for assessing the ESG risk of companies and sovereigns. The Morningstar Sustainability Rating has several steps to accurately represent the relative risk within each portfolio. The result of the rating is a category of 1 to 5 “globes” for each eligible portfolio, indicating the fund’s ESG positioning relative to its peer group.

About this fund
Titoli obbligazionari e azionari di tutti i tipi di emittenti dei mercati mondiali principalmente attraverso OICVM e altri OIC.
Strategia d'investimento:
Il fondo mira a realizzare la crescita del capitale, investendo nei principali attivi scambiati, privilegiando un’esposizione alle obbligazioni e/o titoli analoghi ammissibili, e a sovraperformare l'indice di riferimento.
L’esposizione azionaria è sempre minoritaria e può essere ridotta in base alle aspettative del gestore del fondo in relazione all’andamento dei mercati finanziarie al fine di ridurre il rischio per l’investitore.
La ponderazione azionaria neutrale nel portafoglio è di circa il 20% (per ponderazione azionaria neutrale si intende la proporzione teorica degli attivi nel fondo esposti ad azioni dal cui punto il team di investimento determina la ripartizione degli attivi del fondo in base alle sue previsioni sui mercati finanziari).
Il team di gestione effettua scelte di investimento discrezionali in base a una procedura di analisi economico-finanziaria, nonché all’analisi esclusiva Candriam dei fattori ESG (ambientali, sociali e di governance), entrambi indicativi dei rischi e delle opportunità a lungo termine.
L'obiettivo d’investimento sostenibile del Fondo è esercitare un impatto positivo a lungo termine in ambito ambientale e sociale. L'analisi degli aspetti ESG è parte integrante della selezione e allocazione globale degli attivi sottostanti.
Il fondo si propone di raggiungere un'impronta di carbonio inferiore almeno del 25% rispetto a quella del Benchmark.
Il fondo investe almeno il 90% dei suoi attivi netti in investimenti sostenibili. La vasta maggioranza dei fondi sottostanti ha un obiettivo d'investimento sostenibile in valori mobiliari e/o altri strumenti finanziari con un obiettivo d'investimento sostenibile. Per gli investimenti in linee dirette, le emissioni corporate devono essere qualificabili come investimenti sostenibili. Il fondo mira inoltre ad escludere gli investimenti in società non conformi a determinati standard e principi riconosciuti a livello internazionale o che sono fortemente esposte ad alcune attività controverse o che collaborano con paesi governati da regimi ritenuti altamente oppressivi. Il processo di selezione e allocazione è accompagnato, ove applicabile indirettamente attraverso i fondi sottostanti, da una gestione attiva, in particolare attraverso il dialogo con società e, in qualità di azionisti, tramite le votazioni alle assemblee generali.
Il risultato di questo approccio all’investimento porterà il fondo ad evitare determinati emittenti a causa della scarsa qualità ESG o del ridotto contributo al raggiungimento degli obiettivi di sostenibilità. Sebbene il gestore ritenga probabile che questi emittenti siano destinati a perdere terreno a lungo termine rispetto a quelli più sostenibili, la volatilità e i trend a breve termine del mercato potrebbero portare su periodi più brevi a una sovraperformance di tali emittenti rispetto a quelli più sostenibili.
Il fondo non ha fatto richiesta di Etichetta ISR francese.
Per ulteriori informazioni, fare riferimento al sito web di Candriam e/o al prospetto.
Il fondo può anche utilizzare prodotti derivati sia a scopo di investimento che per fini di copertura (copertura da futuri eventi finanziari avversi).
Indice di riferimento:8% MSCI Europe Index (Net Return) + 8% MSCI USA Index (Net Return) + 3% MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net Return) + 1% MSCI Japan Index (Net Return) + 80% Bloomberg Euro Aggregate 1-10 Year (Total Return).
Il fondo è gestito attivamente e l’approccio d’investimento implica il riferimento a un indice di riferimento. Definizione dell’indice di riferimento:
Bloomberg Euro-Aggregate 1-10 Year (Total Return): misura il rendimento delle obbligazioni investment-grade denominate in euro con scadenze comprese tra 1 e 10 anni.
MSCI Europe (Net Return): misura la performance del segmento azionario delle grandi e medie capitalizzazioni tra tutti i mercati sviluppati in Europa.
MSCI USA (Net Return): misura la performance del segmento azionario delle grandi e medie capitalizzazioni del mercato statunitense.
MSCI Emerging Markets (Net Return): misura il rendimento del segmento azionario delle grandi e medie capitalizzazioni tra tutti i paesi dei mercati emergenti.
MSCI Japan (Net Return): misura la performance del segmento azionario delle grandi e medie capitalizzazioni del mercato giapponese.
Utilizzo dell’indice di riferimento:
- nella determinazione dei livelli di rischio/ parametri,
- a titolo di raffronto tra i rendimenti,
- per il calcolo delle commissioni di performance per talune classi di azioni, se del caso.
Livello di deviazione della composizione di portafoglio dall’indice di riferimento:
Data la gestione attiva del fondo, il suo obiettivo è quello di non investire in tutte le componenti dell’indice di riferimento, né di investire in egual misura nelle componenti dell’indice di riferimento. In normali condizioni di mercato, il tracking error del fondo sarà limitato a moderato, ossia compreso tra 0,5% e 3%.
Questa misura è una stima della deviazione della performance del fondo rispetto a quella dell’indice di riferimento. Maggiore è il tracking error, più importanti sono le deviazioni rispetto all’indice di riferimento. Il tracking error effettivo dipende in particolare dalle condizioni di mercato (volatilità e correlazioni tra strumenti finanziari) e può deviare dal tracking error atteso.

This chart shows the fund’s performance as the percentage loss or gain per year over the last 10 years.
It can help you to assess how the fund has been managed in the past and compare it to its benchmark.
The index composition may change over time. The performance reported may therefore differ from the performance of the relevant index before its change. Performance is shown after deduction of ongoing charges. Any entry and exit charges are excluded from the calculation.

Main Risks
-
Counterparty Risk
When the fund carry out over-the-counter transactions (i.e. involving instruments not listed on the markets), they are exposed to a risk of default by the counterparty to the transaction.
-
Credit risk
It constitutes the risk that an issuer or a counterparty default. This risk includes the risk of changes in credit spreads and default risk. The level of credit risk is usually evaluated by using “ratings” representing a comparative assessment of the credit quality (solvency level) of an issuer, issuer or portfolio. “High Yield” investments present the lowest rating levels and therefore a high credit risk.
-
Currency risk
Funds may hold exposure to a currency different from its valuation currency. Changes in the exchange rate of this currency may negatively affect the value of assets in the portfolio.
-
Derivative risk
Derivatives are investments whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying instrument, such as a security, asset, reference rate or index. Derivative strategies often involve leverage, which may exaggerate a loss, potentially causing the Sub-Fund to lose more money than it would have lost had it invested in the underlying instrument. Using derivatives may result in a higher portfolio volatility related to this underlying asset and an increase of the counterparty risk.
-
Emerging market risk
These markets are characterized by higher volatility issues and a lower liquidity because of legal, political and structural matters. Market movements can be stronger and faster on emerging markets than on “developed markets”, which can lead to a substantial decline in the net asset value in the event of the adverse movements relative to the positions taken.
-
Equity Risk
Some funds may be exposed to equity market risk through direct investment (through transferable securities and/or derivative products), meaning submitted to the positive or negative evolution of stock exchanges. These evolutions can be huge and be mainly driven by expectations relative to macro-economy and company results, speculation and irrational factors (including trends, opinions or rumours).
-
ESG Investment Risk
ESG investment risk refers to the risks arising from the inclusion of ESG factors in the management process, such as the exclusion of activities or issuers and the inclusion of sustainability risks in the selection and/or allocation of issuers in the portfolio.
-
Interest rate risk
A change in interest rates, resulting notably from inflation, may cause a risk of losses and reduce the net asset value of the fund.
-
Risk of loss of capital
Investors are advised that any capital they invest is not guaranteed and that they may therefore not receive back the full amount invested. They may thus suffer a loss.
Other Risks
-
Liquidity risk
lt occurs when a portfolio position cannot be sold, liquidated or closed at a limited cost and within a sufficiently short time, which jeopardizing the fund's ability to comply at any time with its obligations to redeem the shares of investors at their request.
-
Sustainability Risk
The sustainability risk refers to any environmental, social or governance event or condition that could affect the performance and / or the reputation of issuers in the portfolio. It may be issuer specific, in line with their activities and practices, but may also be due to external factors.
-
Volatility risk
A fund may be exposed (taking directional positions or using arbitrage strategies for example) to market volatility risk and could therefore, based on its exposure, suffer losses in the event of changes in the volatility level of these markets.

Swing Pricing is a mechanism by which the net asset value is adjusted upwards (or downwards) if the change in liabilities is positive (or negative) in such a way as to reduce for existing investors the portfolio restructuring costs linked to subscription/ redemption movements in the fund. On valuation days where the difference between the amount of subscriptions and the amount of redemptions of a sub-fund (i.e. net transactions) exceeds a threshold set beforehand by the Board of Directors, the latter shall be entitled to:
- value the net asset value by adding to the assets (in the case of net subscriptions) or deducting from assets (at net redemptions) a fixed percentage of the fees corresponding to market practices and reflecting the fees and/or conditions of liquidity when buying or selling securities;
- value the securities portfolio on the basis of bid or ask prices;
- assess the net asset value by setting a level of spreads representative of the relevant market;
- The dilution mechanism must not exceed 2% of the net asset value, except in exceptional circumstances, as in the event of a sharp decrease in liquidity, which would then be detailed for the sub-fund concerned in the annual (semi-) annual report of the SICAV.

ESG Assessment
This fund has a sustainable investment objective. It invests in economic activities contributing to an environmental and/or social objective. To achieve this objective, the management team makes discretionary investment choices based on an economic/financial analysis process and an internal analysis of environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria.
a. ESG selection criteria:
For corporates, the internal analysis of ESG criteria consists in selecting the issuers:
• that are the best positioned to meet the challenges of sustainable development;
• that comply with the principles of the United Nations Global Compact (i.e. human rights, labour law, the environment, anti-corruption), and which are therefore less exposed to the risks associated with these themes; and
• that are not engaged in controversial activities such as armament (securities of a company whose activity consists of manufacturing, the use or possession of anti-personnel mines, cluster bombs and/or depleted uranium weapons), tobacco, thermal coal.
For sovereign issuers, the internal analysis of ESG criteria consists in selecting:
• Countries that perform best across our four categories of sustainable development criteria: Human Capital, Natural Capital, Social Capital and Economic Capital;
• Countries that are not part of our highly Oppressive Regimes or dictatorships, based on the Freedom House Freedom in the World Index and the World Bank Voice & Accountability Index.
b. Selection methodology:
The companies selected by the management company are subject to a dual analysis:
• Analysis of their activity to assess their alignment with the major challenges of sustainable development. For example, regarding the transition to a circular economy, the management company will consider a company producing recycled steel to be more sustainable than a company producing steel exclusively from iron ore; and
• Analysis of how the company manages players interacting with the company: its employees, its customers, its shareholders, its suppliers and the environment. Here too, the management company will favour companies that adopt the most sustainable practices given their sector. For example, with regard to relations with its clients, the management company will favour pharmaceutical companies with balanced pricing practices and commercial policies. Similarly, with regard to relations with their employees, the management company attaches great importance to the fight against discrimination and compliance with social standards.
Our sovereign investible universe consists of those countries which perform best across our four categories of sustainable development criteria:
• Natural Capital: stock of naturel resources managed by the country;
• Social Capital: trust, norms and institutions which people can rely on to solve common problems and create social cohesion;
• Human Capital: human productivity to which the country participates through education and other initiatives;
• Economic Capital: assessing the level of economic activity viability.
c. A team of ESG analysts is responsible for assessing the selection criteria:
The analysis and selection of sustainable investments is carried out by a dedicated team of ESG analysts within Candriam. This team is made up of specialists whose mission is to analyse the exposure of companies and governments to the risks and opportunities associated with sustainable development.
Selection criteria are expected to evolve over time, based on advances in ESG research and changes in company practices.
