Benefits

Benefits

The benefits of investing in the Fund include:

  • –  Global diversification through a highly diversified portfolio, which minimises stock-specific risk. Our research suggests that there is a long-term premium available to investors focused on valuations and on business quality. We exploit this through the Fund's broad investment universe of more than 10,000 ESG-rated stocks globally

  • –  Active in all areas of environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations. We integrate ESG considerations into the investment process through exclusions, integration (using our proprietary ESG ratings), ongoing research of ESG themes, as well as an active programme of company engagement and voting

  • –  Limited index-relative risk as top-down risks are carefully managed by applying index-relative limits on the weights of regions, sectors and stocks in our portfolio construction process

  • –  Dedicated and well-resourced QEP investment team with clear ownership and accountability for meeting the investment objective of the Fund

Key Features

The Schroder Sustainable Global Core Fund is a highly diversified global equity fund with the discipline of enhanced index investing. The Fund invests in stocks on the basis of both attractive valuations and business quality. The combination of Value and Quality strategies, which tend to outperform at different stages of the economic cycle, offers investors the potential for outperformance across a broad range of market environments. Currency exposure is typically unhedged, however currency derivatives may be used with equity index futures in managing cash flows or to manage active currency positions relative to global equity indices for risk management purposes. 
 

Schroder Global Core Fund is an actively managed strategy designed to target outperformance of MSCI World ex Australia (pre fee) with limited index-relative risk. The QEP team analyses a global universe of over 15,000 companies to identify attractive opportunities, applying index relative constraints at the stock, sector and regional level in order to ensure effective diversification and manage risk. This strategy provides the benefits of index-based investing from a risk and cost perspective with the advantage of relative performance upside potential.
