Strict exclusion criteria are the most significant initial hurdle for companies. For example, companies manufacturing munitions, alcohol and tobacco or offering gambling products are excluded right from the start. The second stage is analysis using the "best-in-class" approach to work out which securities providers implement the sustainability concept best. The fund management team at Union Investment then select individual securities from the remaining investment options, based on expected returns.

• Attractive equity fund with simple, efficient access to "sustainability" investments opportunities
• Promising investment concept through active management with all due consideration of sustainability criteria
• Benefit from the know-how of investment professionals
• Opportunities for attractive capital growth, as a sustainable corporate strategy should have a positive effect on growth and profits in the long term
• Integration of "sustainable growth" into a diversified portfolio, ideally as the basis for long-term investment

• Risk of market-related rate fluctuations and earnings risk
• Exchange rate risk
• The individual investor's vision of sustainability may differ from the investment policy
• The unit value may be exposed to greater rate fluctuation risk, depending on the composition of the fund and/or the techniques used for fund management
• Risk of drop in unit value as the result of individual issuers/contractual partners being late with payment or unable to pay
