INFORMATION ON FINANCIAL PRODUCTS ACCORDING TO DISCLOSURE REGULATION (EU) 2019/2088 OF NOVEMBER 27, 2019

Sustainability Disclosures

 

  • SUMMARY

    The financial product is the financial portfolio management or investment advice offered by us in various investment strategies.

  • “NO SUSTAINABLE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE”

    Ecological or social initiatives are promoted with this financial product, but no sustainable investments are targeted.

  • “ECOLOGICAL OR SOCIAL FACTORS OF THE FINANCIAL PRODUCT”

    When there are sustainability mandates, the selection of financial instruments in the implementation of the agreed investment strategy is focused on avoiding adverse effects on environmental, social and employee concerns or making a contribution to respecting human dignity as well as fighting corruption and bribery.

  • “INVESTMENT STRATEGY”

    We rely on the sustainability research done by ISS ESG for the sustainability assessment of individual securities. You will find more information here.

    To determine the degree to which the aforementioned sustainability concerns are taken into account in the invested financial instruments, we are currently using the rating system from the company ISS ESG, one of the world’s leading, sustainable research agencies, and Refinitiv. If we include investment funds in the sustainable investment strategies, we select fund concepts that are classified as sustainable by the product providers (capital management companies).

    We generally view the adverse effects on sustainability concerns to be sufficiently considered in a mandate if the external ISS ESG risk rating for a financial instrument invested in such has a rating of C+, or C for the external Refinitiv ESG risk rating, and the internal ESG rating for the entire portfolio is not constantly below C+. Other rating scores can be agreed upon for individual financial instruments and for the entire portfolio.

    You will find more information here.

  • “ALLOCATION OF INVESTMENTS”

    See section “Pre-contractual product information according to Article 14 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1288 of April 6, 2022”

  • “MONITORING OF ECOLOGICAL OR SOCIAL FACTORS”

    Ecological or social factors are monitored through the risk classification by the rating agency ISS ESG.

    We generally view the adverse effects on sustainability concerns to be sufficiently considered in a mandate if the external ISS ESG risk rating for a financial instrument invested in such has a rating of C+, or C for the external Refinitiv ESG risk rating, and the internal ESG rating for the entire portfolio is not constantly below C+.
    Rating changes are monitored and evaluated at regular intervals.

  • “METHODS”

    The financial product is classified on the basis of the ISS ESG rating and/or Refinitiv.
    You will find more information here.

    • No data are assessed by Lunis.
  • “METHODOLOGICAL AND DATA LIMITATIONS”

    We are not aware of any limitations at the present time.

  • “DUE DILIGENCE”

    The selection of financial instruments for the financial product also takes account of negative or exclusion criteria to ensure a very high standard in investment decisions related to ESG and to consider potential risks. When the portfolio is constructed, consideration is given only to issuers with at least an ISS ESG rating of [C+] or at least a Refinitiv ESG rating of [C]. The ESG rating for the entire portfolio may not be constantly below C+.
