BNP Paribas Funds Sustainable US Multi-Factor Corporate Bond - I USD ACC Fonds

The Fund seeks to increase the value of its assets over the medium term by investing in Investment Grade corporate bonds denominated in USD issued primarly by socially responsible companies. The Fund's portfolio will be built based on a systematic approach, combining several factor criteria such as, but not limited to, (i) cash flow generation (quality), (ii) relative valuation compared to peers (value), (iii) medium term performance trend (momentum) and (iv) low indebtedness ('low-risk'). Exposure to currencies other than the USD will be less than 5%. Investment grade structured debts may represent up to 20% of the assets. The investment team applies also BNP PARIBAS ASSET MANAGEMENT's sustainable Investment Policy, which takes into account Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria such as but not limited to reduction of emissions of greenhouse gas, respect of human rights, respect of minority shareholders rights, at each step of the investment process of the Fund. The Fund follows the Enhanced ESG approach which means that the Fund implements more explicit ESG tilts (Invest in the most sustainable companies according to specific criteria and/or incorporating a wider range of exclusions) leading to more stringent ESG and/or Carbon performance targets. The quantitative approach is implemented in order to consistently achieve the following targets: - a portfolio's ESG score higher than the ESG score of the index after eliminating at least 20% of the least well-rated securities, and - a portfolio's carbon footprint at least 50% lower than the carbon footprint of the index. An extra-financial strategy may comprise methodological limitations such as the ESG Investment Risk as defined by the asset manager. Incomes are systematically reinvested. Investors are able to redeem on a daily basis (on Luxembourg bank business days) as described in the prospectus.
