What does this fund invest in?

This fund invests in a number of investment institutions managed by ACTIAM:

Investment objective

The investment objective is to achieve a financial return that is at least equal to the return of the benchmark and pursues long-term sustainability objectives.

How does this fund invest?

To a large extent, the fund invests passively. This means that the fund manager follows an index and does not select investments aimed at keeping the cost low. In 2019, a sustainable, actively managed equity strategy with an investment in the Global Equity Impact Pool was added to the fund. This investment institution aims, on the one hand, to contribute to the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and, on the other hand, to limit the negative impact on the planetary boundaries, i.e. the boundaries defining the earth's capacity to utilise the earth’s resources.

How responsible are the fund investments?

Zwitserleven and its fund managers have chosen to implement a socially responsible investment policy. We only invest in companies which pass a sustainability test based on so-called environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria.

The data below refers to August, 2021.

ESG-score: 17%
Fonds: 62
Benchmark: 53

ESG

The ESG score measures the sustainability of a fund ESG stands for environment, social and governance. We consider several factors including energy consumption, safety and good corporate governance. This is compared with the benchmark (if available).

It applies to the companies and countries we invest in. A good balance between the ESG factors and the financial results can lead to better operating results. The higher the ESG score, the lower the risks.

CO₂-uitstoot in tonnen: 31.2%
Fonds: 253.000
Benchmark: 368.000

CO₂-emissions

The lower the CO₂ emissions, the lower the climate-related risk. Climate change is a financial risk. That is why we measure the CO₂ emissions of our funds compared with the benchmark (if available). It consists of the direct CO₂ emissions of investments, caused by internal sources such as building, transport and production related activities. And of the indirect CO₂ emissions of investments, caused by the generation of consumed electricity or heat.

Waterverbruik in liters (x1000): 52.9%
Fonds: 41.000
Benchmark: 87.000

Water consumption

Water scarcity is a financial risk. That is why we measure the water use of our funds (in litres x 1000). We measure the absolute water consumption of business activities in sectors and regions where water is scarce.The lower the scarcity and water use, the lower the risk of water scarcity. This is weighted on the basis of total fund assets and compared with the benchmark (if available).

Water use cannot be calculated for government bonds and real estate because no data are available about this. Therefore, calculations for the funds investing in these categories are only partial.

What are the fund costs?

The fund costs are charged monthly and consist of:

Total Expense Ratio, which is offset in the investment fund. The Total Expense Ratio of the Zwitserleven Wereld Aandelenfonds is 0.036% per year.
Management fees paid in the policy. Information about management fees is included in your pension scheme rules.
The fund incurs costs for thesubscription and withdrawal of investors. This is the case because the fund has to buy or sell investments. These costs are recharged via a positive or negative margin on the price. The spread is +0.13% and -0.08%.
