DNCA Invest - Global Convertibles - A EUR ACC Fonds

The investment objective of DNCA Invest - Global Convertibles (the 'Sub-Fund') is to outperform the Index over the recommended minimum investment period of 4 years by investing in global convertible bonds markets. Investors' attention is drawn to the fact that the management style is discretionary and integrates environmental, social / societal and governance (ESG) criteria. The Sub-Fund is based on a fully discretionary investment strategy within the global convertible bonds markets. The investment strategy of the Sub-Fund is based on an active selective of convertibles bonds and results from a combination of a 'top-down' approach (i.e. an approach that consists in taking into account the overall portfolio allocation and then selecting the transferable securities comprising the portfolio) and of a 'bottom-up' approach (i.e. a selection of transferable securities comprising the portfolio followed by a global analysis of the portfolio) aiming at the choice of issuers and the issues selection. This investment strategy is the main source of expected return. In addition, the Sub-Fund is managed taking into consideration responsible and sustainable principles. In this context, the Sub- Fund implements active conviction management and SRI approach. In this way, the investment process and resulting stock and bond picking take into account internal scoring with respect to both corporate responsibility and sustainability of the companies based on an extra-financial analysis through a proprietary rating model (ABA, Above & Beyond Analysis) developed internally by the Management Company. This model is centered on pillars as further detailed below (i) corporate responsibility, (ii) sustainable transition, (iii) controversies and (iv) dialogue and engagement with issuers. The Management Company uses a proprietary ESG analysis approach with the 'best in universe' method. There is a risk that this data is incorrect, insufficient or missing. There may be a sector bias. The investment process is based on the selection of the investment universe combining a financial and extra-financial approach with three steps: (i) Selection of the investment universe combining a financial (quantitative and micro-economic) and extra-financial (qualitative) approach and exclusion of issuers which have a high-risk profile in terms of corporate responsibility (rating below 2/10 in the ESG proprietary tool) or exposed to major controversies. This extrafinancial filter excludes a minim of 20 of issuers, (ii) build the portfolio with a 'Top down' approach and (iii) selection of securities ('Bottom up' approach) on the basis of multi-factor analysis.
