To tackle climate change phenomena such as global warming and extreme weather events, greenhouse gas emissions need to fall sharply. Setting net zero targets including reducing emissions and carbon removal should help advance the necessary transition towards a low-carbon economy that we believe will sustain capital markets in the long run.
This video defines net zero and explains what actions we have identified for ourselves as an asset manager: We are aiming to cut the carbon footprint of our portfolios, align investments with net zero, finance climate mitigation solutions, and encourage investors to select net zero aligned strategies. We are also actively engaging with companies on the measures they can take to further the transition.

Investing in emerging markets or specialised or restricted sectors is likely to be subject to a higher-than-average volatility due to a high degree of concentration, greater uncertainty because less information is available, there is less liquidity or due to greater sensitivity to changes in market conditions (social, political and economic conditions).
Some emerging markets offer less security than the majority of international developed markets. For this reason, services for portfolio transactions, liquidation and conservation on behalf of funds invested in emerging markets may carry greater risk.
