ESG & sustainability
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.
At least 30% of company investment (e.g. research and development, capital expenditure) must be directed towards a product or service aligned with an impact pillar.

Yes. The Standard Life Global Equity Impact Fund applies exclusions for areas including weapons, tobacco, gambling, alcohol, thermal coal, oil & gas, electricity generation, state-owned enterprises, and certain normative screening criteria. This means the fund avoids businesses it considers inconsistent with its impact approach. The investment universe is reduced by at least 20% as a result.
The Standard Life Global Equity Impact Fund faces equity risk, currency risk, counterparty risk, liquidity risk, and derivative-related risk. Equity risk means share prices can go down as well as up; currency risk means exchange-rate moves can reduce returns when holdings are in different currencies. The fund also has concentrated exposure to particular regions, countries and sectors, which can make it more volatile.
