The fund invests in food & beverage companies worldwide. This includes companies carrying out their business activity in the following industries: producers and distributors of food, beverages and tobacco; manufacturers of non-durable household goods and personal products; food & pharmaceutical retailers. The portfolio is diversified across countries. The fund uses active management to target companies that score well according to our systematic investment process, with stock and sub-sector deviation limits maintained relative to the benchmark. Measured over a period of several years, we aim to beat the performance of the benchmark MSCI World Consumer Staples (NR).

The benchmark is a broad representation of our investment universe. The fund may also include investments into securities that are not part of the benchmark universe. Investors should be aware that the index’s investment universe is concentrated and, as a result, the Sub-Fund is concentrated. This will typically result in a comparable composition and return profile of the Sub-Fund and its benchmark. The fund’s stock selection process is driven by the analysis of fundamental and behavioural data and includes the integration of ESG factors. You can sell your participation in this fund on each (working) day on which the value of the units is calculated, which for this fund occurs daily. The fund does not aim to provide you with a dividend. It will reinvest all earnings.
