    Management goal

    Abacus Credit Impact is a euro-denominated bond mutual fund that complies with article 9 of the SFDR. The fund’s objective is to invest in bonds with environmental and/or social impacts in terms of sustainability, while seeking performance over the recommended investment period.

    It is composed of issuers from all market capitalisations whose bonds are aligned with or comply with the standards of the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) Green, Social, Sustainable and Sustainability linked bonds. These securities, chosen for their fundamental qualities, are selected through a rigorous and transparent process, Abacus.

    This proprietary methodology enables us to aim for a better risk-adjusted performance.

    Abacus Credit Impact adopts a socially responsible investment (SRI) strategy and a comprehensive extra-financial strategy, with in-depth analysis of ESG risks and impacts, greenhouse gas emissions and scope 1, 2 and 3. The investment strategy is characterised by a significantly committed approach:

    • The “rating improvement” approach in relation to the investable universe – the fund’s rating must be higher than the rating of the investment universe after eliminating at least 20% of the lowest-rated securities, excluded according to the Best in Universe approach.
    • The “selectivity” approach in relation to the investable universe: with the reduction of 20% of the investment universe according to the Best in Universe approach.

    In line with the Fund’s management objective, the management team selects bonds whose profits are dedicated to an additional and intentional social, environmental or sustainability benefit.
