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 Prosperity Fixed Interest.

Standard Life Prosperity Fixed Interest fully invests in the abrdn SICAV I - Euro Government Bond Fund. That underlying fund invests mainly in euro-denominated government and government-related bonds issued by European governments. At least two-thirds of assets are kept in those bonds, and up to 10% may be invested in European emerging market countries.

Standard Life Prosperity Fixed Interest is designed to keep at least 80% of its currency exposure in euros at all times. In plain language, that means most of the fund is tied to euro-denominated investments rather than other currencies. This helps keep the fund closely linked to euro government bond markets, though some exposure to other currencies can still exist.

Standard Life Prosperity Fixed Interest carries risks linked to bonds, currencies, inflation, derivatives and counterparties. Counterparty risk means a deal with another party, such as a derivatives contract, may not go as expected or could fail. The fund also notes that its concentrated regional focus may make it more volatile and less liquid than a more broadly diversified fund.

The fund manager, abrdn, does integrate ESG factors and sustainability risks into research and portfolio decisions.
