In consideration of a green planet…

 

At Dexia Asset Management, we believe that some long-term environmental themes can make a real difference. Waste management, water use and energy resources/climate change are only three of them. They are secular growth themes and companies positioned to benefit from them stand out to do very well in the long term. By bringing together these three themes into our thematic fund, we've constructed a diversified and risk-return optimal portfolio.

The stock selection process consists of two major phases: SRI analysis and fundamental financial analysis.

 

In order to allow only investments in sustainable and responsible companies proposing innovative solutions to the three aboved mentioned environmental challenges, we have developed a rigorous and specific in-house thematic SRI analysis, illustrated below.

The Green Planet Company Universe is composed of all companies passing positively the Environmental & Technological SRI Analysis, the Norms-based Analysis, the corporate Governance SRI Analysis and the Armament Exclusion filter.

 

A subsequent stock selection is based upon an in-house fundamental financial analysis. In our European equity market approach, we aim to stand out from the crowd. The strong convictions of our fund managers constitute the cornerstone to our investment strategy. All the investment ideas coming from the managers are carefully assessed by our buy-side analysts and then analysed in the context of a coherent and systematic working frame. A perfect knowledge of the fundamentals of each company enables us to identify the most attractive investment opportunities.
