Portfolio Structure

Launched in July 2003, the Living Planet Fund – Equity is a Luxembourg registered Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) fund investing in global equities. It is listed on the Luxembourg stock exchange and is compliant with European Union UCITs III regulations.

The fund is a quality financial product that allows retail and institutional investors to align their ethical values with their investment goals. It has a long term investment strategy and constitutes its portfolio by adopting 4 SRI approaches:

Exclusion of some sectors
Companies considered for inclusion need to meet stringent financial criteria
Selection of companies using different categories of indicators, including environmental and social policies.
Best in class approach: only best performing companies within each sector are considered for inclusion in the fund.

Through this method, 50 to 60 companies that have a proactive commitment to environmental and social issues and which are leaders in their industry sector constitute the portfolio.

Companies that the fund invests in must have a market capitalization of at least 400 Million Euro and are linked to one of the following themes: Energy & Climate, Health, Water, Consumption, Knowledge society, Mobility, Financial services and Smart housing.
