Water is a basic need, not only for human life but also for economic development. Demand is increasing for the provision of technologies and services to deliver the required quantity and quality of water, and companies participating in this market benefit from a visible and resilient growth opportunity. This allows the strategy managers to construct a balanced and diverse portfolio based on their strongest convictions.
ESG Credentials
SRI
This ranking on the synthetic risk and reward indicator scale is due to the Fund’s allocation to equity markets. Historical data may not be a reliable indication for the future. The risk category shown is not guaranteed and may shift over time. There is no capital guarantee or protection on the value of the Fund. The lowest category does not mean “risk free”.
The following risks are materially relevant to the Fund but are not adequately captured by the synthetic indicator:
- Liquidity risk: liquidity risk represents the price reduction which the UCITS should potentially accept to have to sell certain securities for which there is one insufficient request on the market.
- Stock Connect risk: the Fund may invest in China “A” shares via the Shanghaï-Hong Kong Stock Connect and/or Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect programs which are subject to additional clearing and settlement constraints, potential regulatory changes as well as operational and counterparty risks.
The Fund is subject to sustainability risks as defined in the Regulation 2019/2088 (article 2(22)) by environmental, social or governance event or condition that, if it occurs, could cause an actual or a potential material negative impact on the value of the investment. More information on the framework related to the incorporation of Sustainability can be found on the website of the Management Company and the Delegated Investment Manager.
Please refer to the section entitled “Specific Risks” of the Prospectus for additional details on risks.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks and expenses of any investment carefully before investing. Please read the prospectus and Key Investor Information carefully before investing.
Investment objective
The Thematics Water strategy is a long-only, all-cap global equity strategy that invests in stocks of companies in the global water value chain and municipal solid waste markets.
The sustainable investment objective of Thematics Water Strategy is to contribute globally to the universal provision of clean water, in water pollution prevention and control and more broadly in the global, sustainable use and protection of all water resources while generating long-term growth of capital through an investment process systematically including Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) considerations.
The strategy is managed through a thematic lens and is therefore unconstrained by typical limitations in terms of sectors, geographies, styles and market capitalizations. Doing so allows the managers to access attractively priced long term investment opportunities wherever they find them

PERFORMANCE DATA SHOWN REPRESENTS PAST PERFORMANCE AND IS NOT A GUARANTEE OF, AND NOT INDICATIVE OF, FUTURE RESULTS. More recent performance may be lower or higher. Principal value and returns fluctuate over time (mainly as a result of currency fluctuations) so that shares, when redeemed, will be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance shown is net of all fund expenses, but does not include the effect of sales charges, taxation or paying agent charges, and assumes reinvestment of dividends. If such charges were included, returns would have been lower. Performance for other share classes will be more or less depending on differences in fees and sales charges. For further information on the performance data, including calculation of performance during periods of share class inactivity, please refer to the Fund Factsheet available under Fund Documents section.
