Overview*

An extension of the flexibility and practicality of our ESG Solutions framework, establishing a primary portfolio objective:

• A carbon emission reduction of 50% is established compared to the benchmark as an explicit portfolio objective.
• Stocks with low carbon emissions along with other attractive alpha attributes are targeted while controlling key risk exposures.
• The resultant portfolio has a lower carbon emission intensity level relative to the benchmark and also delivers modest outperformance while maintaining comparable risk relative to the underlying index.

^*Portfolio objectives are not guaranteed. Past performance is not a guarantee or reliable indicator of future results.
