SPARX Japan Sustainable Equity Fund JPY Institutional Class I

The Fund aims to achieve long term sustainable capital growth by investing in shares of Japanese equities. The Fund will invest primarily in sustainable investments by acquiring a selection of Equity Securities based on the companies issuing these Equity Securities’ compliance with environmental, social and/or governance criteria and/or based on their efforts to reduce carbon emissions. In order to achieve this objective, the Fund will invest in any event at all times at least 90% of its assets in Equity Securities issued by companies which are domiciled or exercise the predominant part of their economic activity in Japan, the investment universe of the Fund. The Fund may invest the rest of its assets in ancillary liquid assets such as money market instruments (including banker’s acceptances, commercial paper and negotiable certificates of deposit) or cash deposits.
