Underlying fund: abrdn SICAV I - Diversified Income Fund
Managed by abrdn
The Fund and its holdings may use derivatives for the purpose of efficient portfolio management, reduction of risk or to meet its respective investment objective if this is permitted and appropriate. The fund can use derivatives in order to meet its investment objective or to protect from price and currency movements.
ESG & sustainability
The Fund is classified as Article 6 under the EU’s Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (“SFDR”). Article 6 funds don't promote ESG characteristics or have a specific sustainable investment objective. This fund is managed using an investment process that integrates environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors but does not promote ESG characteristics or have specific sustainable investment objectives. This means that while ESG factors and risks are considered, they may or may not impact portfolio construction. Furthermore, investments within this Fund do not take into account the EU Taxonomy criteria for environmentally sustainable economic activities. abrdn, the Investment Manager of the fund, integrates sustainability risks and opportunities into its research, analysis and investment decision-making process. abrdn believes that the consideration of sustainability risks and opportunities of a company can have a material impact on a company’s competitive position and future success and as such on long-term investment returns for investors. abrdn’s ESG integration requires, in addition to its inclusion in the investment decision making process, appropriate monitoring of sustainability considerations in risk management, portfolio monitoring, engagement and stewardship activities. abrdn also engages with policymakers on ESG and stewardship matters. Combining the integration of sustainability risks and opportunities with broader monitoring and engagement activities may affect the value of investments and therefore returns.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Standard Life Diversified Income.
The Standard Life Diversified Income Fund invests through the abrdn SICAV I - Diversified Income Fund in a broad mix of global assets. Its holdings can include company shares, government, bank and corporate bonds, other funds, money-market instruments and cash. The fund is not confined to any one region, market or asset type, so its portfolio can change materially over time.
The Standard Life Diversified Income Fund aims to deliver a combination of income and some growth by actively managing allocations across global assets. The Diversified Assets Solutions Team makes those allocation decisions, with the underlying fund managed by abrdn. Income received by the fund is reinvested and reflected in the unit price, so investors do not receive regular cash payouts from the fund itself.
The Standard Life Diversified Income Fund is global, which means it is not restricted to any single country, region or market. It can hold assets across sectors such as listed equity, government bonds, emerging market bonds, property and cash. This broad reach can increase diversification, but it also means the fund may be affected by a wide range of regional market developments.
The Standard Life Diversified Income Fund carries risks including equities, currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, inflation risk, emerging market risk, counterparty risk and derivative use. Currency risk means changes in exchange rates can reduce returns when the fund holds assets in foreign currencies. Counterparty risk means another party to a financial contract, such as a derivative, could fail to meet its obligations.
The Standard Life Diversified Income Fund may use derivatives for efficient portfolio management, risk reduction or to help meet its investment objective, and also to protect against price and currency movements. Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on an underlying asset, so they can add complexity and risk. The fund is classified as Article 6 under SFDR and does not have a specific sustainable investment objective, although abrdn says ESG factors are integrated into its research and decision-making.
