According to the Institute for Economics & Peace, there are 56 active conflicts in the world, the greatest number since the end of World War II. Increasingly complex geopolitics and ReArm Europe are keeping investors on our toes, analytically.
Our approach is nuanced, yet four points are prominent:
- We do not invest in companies which produce weapons banned by international conventions and certain local regulation.
- We may invest in conventional defence companies through specific investment strategies, but only after thorough fundamental analysis.
- In SFDR Article 9 funds, we do not invest in defence.
- For each of our funds, we provide investors with full transparency on our exclusions and analytical rationales pertaining to defence.
