The Fund aims to provide long term growth from a combination of income and capital growth by investing in listed real estate investment trusts (REITs) and companies principally engaged in real estate activities (together "Real Estate Companies") on a global basis, which adhere to the abrdn Global Real Estate Securities Sustainable Investment Approach (the "Investment Approach"). The Fund aims to outperform the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Net Return Index (EUR) benchmark before charges. The fund invests at least 90% in listed closed ended real estate investment trusts ("REITs") or securities and companies principally engaged in real estate activities on a global basis. Investment in all Real Estate Companies will follow the Investment Approach. The Fund aims to have a positive tilt towards sustainable leaders with at least 50% of the fund invested in companies with best in class ESG credentials addressing global environmental and societal challenges ("Sustainable leaders"). As a minimum, Real Estate Companies will be expected to have ESG credentials that are considered average within the region they operate to be considered for investment. The abrdn ESG House Score is used to quantitatively identify and exclude those companies exposed to the highest ESG risks. Additionally, abrdn apply a set of company exclusions to rule out a narrow, defined list of unacceptable activities and behaviours which are related to the UN Global Compact, State Owned Enterprises (SOE), Weapons, Tobacco, Thermal Coal, Oil & Gas and Electricity Generation. Taken together, the fund will exclude at least 20% of the benchmark investment universe. Financial derivative instruments, money-market instruments and cash may not adhere to this approach.
