AIB Life Goodbody Global Equity

Goodbody Global Equity invests in an actively managed fund that seeks out global quality growth companies. It is designed to provide active exposure to developed world equity performance, so it focuses on shares rather than bonds or other asset classes. The fund’s holdings are concentrated in well-known companies such as Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft and Amazon.

Goodbody Global Equity aims to outperform the global developed equity market over the medium to long term. The fund is therefore aimed at investors who can stay invested for a longer period rather than those looking for short-term returns. Its high risk rating means the value can rise and fall significantly.

Goodbody Global Equity invests across developed markets, including North America, Europe ex UK, Asia Pacific ex Japan, the United Kingdom and Japan. This gives investors broad exposure to companies in advanced economies rather than emerging markets. The fund uses an active approach to select companies within those regions.

Goodbody Global Equity looks for quality growth companies, which are businesses the manager believes can grow faster than the wider market while maintaining strong characteristics. The portfolio is tilted toward sectors such as technology, industrials, consumer discretionary and healthcare. That mix can change over time as the active manager adjusts the holdings.

Yes. Goodbody Global Equity is classified as an Article 8 fund under SFDR, meaning it promotes environmentally friendly or socially responsible investments. For an investor, that means the fund includes sustainability considerations alongside its investment approach.
