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-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.

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 fund costs are charged?

Fund costs are charged and consist of:

  • Ongoing Charges Figure, which is charged daily to the fund's price. The expected Ongoing Charges Figure of the Zwitserleven Credits Fonds is 0.04% per annum.
  • Management fees that are settled with the investment value every month. Information about management fees can be found in your pension scheme rules.
  • The fund charges a fee when investors are entering or exiting the fund, because it must buy or sell investments. Therefore the fund charges an entry fee or an exit fee on the net asset value of the fund. Cardano Asset Management (the Manager) periodically calculates whether the long-term average transaction costs are still in line with the actual costs. If this is no longer correct, the Manager can change the height of the fee’s. As long as this does not exceed the maximum, these changes will take effect immediately and will be published on the Cardano Asset Management website. The current fee’s can be found in the overview Actuele op- en afslagen.
