The Fund aims to achieve a combination of growth and income by investing in companies listed on global stock exchanges including Emerging Markets which in our view will make a positive contribution to society through their alignment with achieving the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals ("SDGs"). The Fund aims to outperform the MSCI ACWI SMID-Cap Index (USD) benchmark (before charges). The Fund invests at least 90% in equities and equity related securities of companies listed globally. The Fund invests at least 70% in Small & Mid sized companies, defined as any stock smaller than that of the largest stock in the MSCI ACWI SMIDCap Index. The Fund may also invest in larger companies listed globally. The Fund may invest up to 20% in Mainland China equity and equity-related securities through the Shanghai-Hong Kong and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect programme. Investment in all equity and equity related securities will follow the abrdn "Global Small & Mid-Cap SDG Horizons 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 invests in companies with a minimum of 20% of their revenue, profit, capital or operating expenditure or research and development linked to the UN's SDGs. For companies classified as "Financials", alternative measures of materiality are used based on loans and customer base. The Fund will also invest up to 40% in SDG Enablers. These are companies considered integral to supply chains that enable progress towards the SDGs, but their impact is not currently reliably measurable. In addition, we apply a set of company exclusion related to normative screening, Norges Bank Investment Management, State Owned Enterprises, Weapons, Tobacco, Gambling, Alcohol, Thermal Coal, Oil & Gas, and Electricity Generation. The Investment Approach reduces the Fund's investment universe by a minimum of 20%.
