Dear Shareholder, The Company’s board of directors (the "Board") hereby informs you of the following changes to be made to the prospectus of the Company (the “Prospectus”) and more specifically the appendix relating to the Sub-Fund:
1) Change of the investment objective
As from 31 of December 2021 (the “Effective Date”), the investment objective of the Sub- Fund will be amended to add a sustainable investment objective in accordance with article 9 of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 on sustainability‐related disclosures in the financial services sector (SFDR). The investment objective will therefore read as follows:
”Objective: To achieve regular income and capital growth (total return) over the medium to long term by investing, using a flexible multi-asset allocation approach in securities previously screened against environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment criteria with the aim of achieving a weighted average of the portfolio's greenhouse gas emissions per euro invested (carbon intensity) at least 30% lower than that of the composite benchmark 20% MSCI World HD (net total return) + 40% ICE Bofa Global High Yield Index + 40% JP EMBI Global Diversified Index. The sub-fund is actively and discretionarily managed. The index is used to define the eligible investment universe with the objective of reducing carbon intensity. The management strategy is without constraints on the index.”
