For complete information on risks, refer to the legal documents. The value of investments, and any income from them, will fluctuate. This may partly be the result of changes in exchange rates. Investors may not get back the full amount invested. The Funds intend to invest in securities of issuers that manage their ESG exposures better relative to their peers. This may affect the Funds' exposure to certain issuers and cause the Funds to forego certain investment opportunities. The Funds may perform differently to other funds, including underperforming other funds that do not seek to invest in securities of issuers based on their ESG ratings.
An investment in the fund is an acquisition of units in a passively managed, index tracking fund rather than in the underlying assets owned by the fund. Any investment decision should take into account all the characteristics of the funds as described in the legal documents.

We’re living in an age of disruption, where everything appears to change at lightning speed. Technology is transforming or lives and redefining entire industries. Meanwhile, climate change, declining birth rates, and an aging population are due to reshape society.
These are just some of the ‘megatrends’ at work in the world today with the power to reframe the way we live, what governments prioritize and how businesses operate and succeed.
We offer a broad set of ETFs that seek to capture the opportunities to be found in some of these disruptive themes.
Our ESG approach is centred around client needs. Most investors choose ESG ETFs for the same reasons they choose any other ETF: simplicity, low costs, transparency, tradability and often for the efficient way it tracks a reference index.
With all of our ESG ETFs designed to meet specific objectives, we provide our clients with complete clarity on their goals and precisely how they aim to deliver that outcome.
