About the Fund

Provides simple, cost-effective and transparent exposure to a portfolio of sustainable, ethical companies from a broad range of global locations.

The Fund will generally invest in a portfolio of global equity securities that comprise the Index in proportion to the weightings of the securities in the Index.

The Index includes 200 large global stocks from developed market countries (excluding Australia) that have been identified as "Climate Leaders and that have also passed certain eligibility screens designed to exclude companies with direct or significant exposure to the fossil fuel industry or that are engaged in other activities deemed inconsistent with responsible investment considerations.

Climate Leaders are companies that have a carbon efficiency that places them in the top one-third of companies in their industry or are otherwise superior performers in relation to "Scope 4 carbon emissions(also known as "avoided emissions).

Carbon efficiency:Carbon efficiency is determined by calculating the greenhouse gas emissions from a company's operations, fuel use and supply chain, divided by its annual revenue.

Scope 4 (or avoided) carbon emissions:Superior performers in relation to Scope 4 carbon emissions are those companies involved in commercialising technologies that have net positive climate benefits through substantial greenhouse gas emissions reductions or sequestration. Companies in this category typically include those with primary business activities in renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable agriculture and land use, and carbon sequestration.

A fossil fuel screen is applied to the universe of Climate Leaders, which removes companies with any direct involvement in the fossil fuel industry, as well as companies with material indirect exposure (e.g. provision of products, services or finance which is specific to, and significant for, the fossil fuel industry) and those with particularly high use of fossil fuels.

The remaining universe is screened to remove companies which are exposed to activities considered to carry significant negative environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks (subject to certain materiality thresholds).

How we invest your money

In seeking to achieve the investment objective, the Responsible Entity will employ a passive management approach designed to track the performance of the Index, before fees and expenses.

The Fund will generally invest in the securities that comprise the Index in proportion to the weightings of the securities in the Index. This is known as a "full replication strategy. The timing and nature of any changes to the composition of the Fund's investments will generally correspond with the timing and nature of changes to the Index.

In a variety of circumstances, however, the holdings of the Fund may not exactly replicate the Index. For example, it may not be possible or practical to do so in some circumstances, such as where investment restrictions apply which would prevent direct investment in a particular security. The Fund, from time to time, may not hold all of the securities comprising the Index and may hold securities in weightings which differ from the Index.

Investors will be able to regularly compare the performance of the Fund against the performance of the Index via the BetaShares website at www.betashares.com.au.

The Fund may hold exchange-traded derivatives contracts from time to time (e.g. futures contracts) and other investments that do not form part of the Index where this may help to achieve the Fund's investment objective.

Small cash balances may be held in the Fund from time to time.
