abrdn S.I-Asian SDG Eq.Fd.X Acc USD/  LU2124053880  /

The Fund aims to achieve long term growth by investing in companies in Asia Pacific (excluding Japan) countries which in our view will make a positive contribution to society through their alignment achieving the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals ('SDGs'). The Fund aims to outperform the MSCI AC Asia Pacific ex Japan Index (USD) benchmark before charges. The Fund invests at least 90% in equities and equity-related securities of companies based, or carrying out much of their business, in Asia Pacific countries (excluding Japan). The Fund may invest up to 30% of its net assets in Mainland China equities and equity related securities, although only up to 20% of its net assets may be invested directly through QFI regime, the Shanghai-Hong Kong and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect programme. All equity and equity related securities will follow the abrdn Asian SDG Equity Investment Approach (the "Investment Approach"), which is published at www.abrdn.com under "Fund Centre". Financial derivative instruments, money-market instruments and cash may not adhere to this approach. The Fund will invest in companies with minimum of 20% of their revenue, profit, capital or operating expenditure or research and development linked to the UN's SDGs. For companies classified in the benchmark as "Financials", alternative measures of materiality are used based on loans and customer base. The Fund will also invest up to 20% in SDG leaders. These are companies that are considered to be integral to the supply chain for progressing towards the UN's SDGs, but may not currently meet the 20% materiality requirement. In addition, we apply a set of company exclusion which are related to normative screening (UN Global Compact, ILO, OECD), Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM), State Owned Enterprises (SOE), Weapons, Tobacco, Gambling, Alcohol, Thermal Coal, Oil & Gas, Electricity Generation. The Investment Approach reduces the benchmark investable universe by a minimum of 20%.
