Standard Life Prosperity Equity
Equity Global
The Standard Life Prosperity Equity Fund invests fully in the ACS I abrdn Evolve World Equity Index Fund. The fund aims to generate growth over the long term (5 years or more) by tracking the return of the MSCI World Select ESG Climate Solutions Target Index. The fund has a performance target that aims to match the return of the MSCI World Select ESG Climate Solutions Target Index (before charges). The performance target is the level of performance that the management team hopes to achieve for the fund. There is however no certainty or promise that it will achieve the performance target. abrdn believes this is an appropriate target for the fund based on the investment policy of the fund and the constituents of the Index. The fund will invest at least 90% in equities (company shares) and equity related securities (such as depositary receipts) of companies that make up the MSCI World Select ESG Climate Solutions Target Index. The fund will typically invest directly but may also invest indirectly when deemed appropriate in order to meet its objective. Indirect investment may be achieved via derivatives. The fund does not make extensive use of derivatives. The fund may also invest in other funds (including those managed by abrdn), money-market instruments, and cash. These investments may not comply with the sustainable approach applied by the Index. Income received by the fund will be reinvested and reflected in the unit price of the fund.

Underlying fund: ACS I abrdn Evolve World Equity Index Fund
Managed by abrdn
The fund will typically invest directly but may also invest indirectly when deemed appropriate in order to meet its objective. Indirect investment may be achieved via derivatives. The fund does not make extensive use of derivatives. The fund can use derivatives in order to meet its investment objective or to protect from price and currency movements. This may result in gains or losses that are greater than the original amount invested. Derivatives are financial instruments which derive their value from an underlying asset, such as a company share or a bond, and are used routinely in global financial markets. Used correctly, derivatives offer an effective and cost-efficient way of investing in financial markets. However, derivatives can lead to increased volatility of returns in a fund, thus requiring a robust and extensive risk management process. Some derivatives give rise to increased potential for loss where the fund’s counterparty defaults in meeting its payment obligations. The fund does make extensive use of derivatives.
ESG & sustainability
The Fund is classified as Article 8 under the EU’s Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (“SFDR”). Article 8 funds are those that promote social and/or environmental characteristics, invest in companies that follow good governance, give binding commitments but do not have a sustainable investment objective. 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.
