The Global SRI Company Universe is composed of all companies passing positively the Best-in-Class Analysis, the Norms-based Analysis and the Armament Exclusion filter.

 

Subsequently a portfolio is composed from this SRI universe, based on the recommendations of our quantitative financial analysts. This individual stock selection is achieved by using different internally developed quantitative models. The investment strategy follows a neutral sector allocation compared with the reference index. This rigorous and methodical investment process ensures risk control as well as sustainable and financial opportunities in the short, medium and long term.
