The fund actively selects US stocks through responsible investing (RI). This approach integrates the analysis of ESG factors to a fundamentals-based selection process. Eligible companies must have high returns on capital, strong balance sheets, and experienced management teams. In addition, these firms must have sustainable competitive advantage and be considered as ESG leaders in their respective sectors. As part of RI implementation, the fund: 1) excludes companies involved in weapons, tobacco, nuclear, and fossil fuel, 2) evaluates the ESG practices of companies, 3) uses shareholder engagements as leverage to influence the eligible firms in terms of ESG policies, and 4) collaborates with other institutional investors to advocate improvements in corporate policies, industry standards, and national regulations. The fund may have foreign exposure through ADRs and GDRs. Derivatives such as options, futures, forwards, and swaps may be used for hedging and non-hedging purposes.
