abrdn SICAV I - Emerging Markets Income Equity Fund - I USD ACC Fonds

The Fund aims to achieve income combined with long term capital growth by investing in companies in Emerging Market Countries, which adhere to the abrdn Emerging Markets Income Promoting ESG Equity Investment Approach (the 'Investment Approach'). The Fund aims to outperform the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (USD) with a yield greater than the benchmark before charges. The Fund invests at least 70% in equities and equity related securities of companies listed, incorporated or domiciled in Emerging Market Countries. - The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in Mainland China equity and equity-related securities including through the Shanghai-Hong Kong and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect programme. - All equity and equity-related securities will follow the Investment Approach. - This approach utilises abrdn's equity investment process, which enables portfolio managers to qualitatively identify and avoid ESG laggards. To compliment this research, the abrdn ESG House Score is used to quantitatively identify and exclude those companies exposed to the highest ESG risks. Additionally, abrdn apply a set of company exclusions which are related to the UN Global Compact, Controversial Weapons, Tobacco Manufacturing and Thermal Coal. More detail on this overall process is captured within the Investment Approach, which is published at www.abrdn.com under 'Fund Centre'. - Financial derivative instruments, money-market instruments and cash may not adhere to this approach.
