The investment objective of VT AJ Bell Responsible Growth is to achieve capital growth over the long-term (5 years) through investment in assets that follow a responsible strategy. Capital is in fact at risk and there is no guarantee that capital growth will be achieved over a 5 year, or any, period.
The Sub-fund will seek to achieve its objective by investing at least 80%, in index-tracking investments and which consist of collective investment schemes (including those managed or operated by the ACD). The indexes which the investments of the Sub-fund will track will be those indexes which the Investment Manager considers incorporate environmental, social and governance considerations and more specifically which apply:
(i) values based exclusions (and so exclude investments with material revenue exposure (more than 15%) to the manufacture or supply of weapons; unconventional extraction of oil, gas and consumable fuels; metals and minerals; the sale or manufacture of tobacco; gambling; alcohol and adult entertainment ; and (ii) 'norms based screening' to remove companies from the investment universe which do not, for example meet minimum standards of business practice against, for example, the UN Declaration of Human Rights).
The Sub-fund may also invest (up to 20%) in the following (in respect of which the 'responsible' filters noted above may not apply): non-index tracking collective investment schemes (including those managed and/or advised by the ACD or Investment Manager), equities, bonds, money market instruments, deposits, cash and near cash.
Save as noted above (with a focus on responsible investment) the sub-fund will not have any particular geographic, industry or economic sector
focus and as such weightings in these may vary as required. The sub-fund may have exposure to emerging markets (those markets whose
economies are in an emerging growth phase and offer higher potential return with higher risks than developed market countries) through its investments in e.g. collective investment schemes or futures.
Derivatives (that is sophisticated investment instruments linked to the rise and fall of the price of other assets) are held only for efficient portfolio management purposes.
