The aim is to select countries that are well managing their sustainable development. This means they ensure their present welfare and economic prosperity without compromising future generations to ensure their welfare and economic prosperity as well.

Secondly, after applying the sustainability research process, bonds issued or guaranteed by countries belonging to the country SRI universe are selected in accordance with a structured and strict fixed-income process. This process is founded on quantitative models and in-depth market analysis, aimed at exploiting various sources of performance (directional strategy, curve strategy, issuer spread strategy, inflation strategy, bond selection). The process consists of a top-down approach to determinant factors and to the prospects of the different bond segments, and a bottom-up approach to security selection.
