Its character
A sustainability-screened global share fund: it keeps companies with stronger ESG ratings and screens out fossil fuels and other excluded activities, which tilts the mix away from energy and toward technology and financials. It's a certified responsible-investment product.
What to keep in mind
Diversified across many global companies, but the sustainability screens narrow the field and lift its lean on technology, so it can behave differently from a plain world index. Concentrated in the US, and unhedged, so currency movements feed through.
