Article 8 Fund

An Article 8 Fund under SFDR is defined as “a Fund which promotes, among other characteristics, environmental or social characteristics, or a combination of those characteristics, provided that the companies in which the investments are made follow good governance practices.”

What are the disclosure requirements for Article 8 Funds?

Where a fund is defined as Article 8, the following disclosures are required:

• Information on how environmental and social characteristics are met;

• Where an index has been designated as a reference benchmark, information on whether and how the index is consistent with those characteristics; and

• Information as to where the methodology used for the calculation of the reference index can be found.For our Article 8 Funds you will find all this information, per fund, on our Sustainable Investing Hub within the“Our ESG Fund Range” section.
