Underlying fund: abrdn UK Equity Enhanced Index 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. 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 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.
