ACS World ESG Insights Equity Fund

Overview

Investment Approach

The Fund is a sub-fund of BlackRock Authorised Contractual Scheme I taking the form of a Co-ownership Scheme. As a consequence of this, the Fund may be treated as tax transparent for the purpose of income and/or capital gains by relevant taxing jurisdictions. Each investor should take appropriate professional advice as to the tax treatment of their investment in the Fund. Investors in the Fund must be Eligible Investors as defined in the Fund’s prospectus and must have completed all relevant documentation prior to the purchase of units in the Fund. The aim of the Fund is to provide exposure to companies within the FTSE Developed World Index (Index) that are well-positioned to maximise the opportunities and minimise the potential risks associated with certain environmental, social and governance (ESG) themes and considerations relative to other companies in the Index, using a combination of ESG exclusionary screens and the Investment Manager’s (IM’s) Sustainable Investing Material BlackRock Analysis (SIMBA) methodology. It aims to achieve this whilst also seeking to provide a return on your investment (generated through an increase to the value of the assets held by the Fund and/or income received from those assets) and maintaining a risk and return profile (i.e. an evaluation of the risks (e.g. risk of losses) associated with the portfolio) which generally reflects the risk and return profile of the Index. Although the Fund aims to achieve its investment objective, there is no guarantee that this will be achieved. The Fund's capital is at risk, meaning that the Fund could suffer a decrease in value and the value of your investment could decrease as a result.

Important Information: Capital at Risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested.

The value of equities and equity-related securities can be affected by daily stock market movements. Other influential factors include political, economic news, company earnings and significant corporate events. The Fund seeks to exclude companies engaging in certain activities inconsistent with ESG criteria. Investors should therefore make a personal ethical assessment of the Fund’s ESG screening prior to investing in the Fund. Such ESG screening may adversely affect the value of the Fund’s investments compared to a fund without such screening.

ESG Integration

ESG Integration

ESG integration is the practice of incorporating material environmental, social and governance (ESG) information or insights alongside traditional measures into the investment decision process to improve long term financial outcomes of portfolios. Unless otherwise stated in Fund documentation or included within the Fund’s investment objective, inclusion of this statement does not imply that the Fund has an ESG-aligned investment objective, but rather describes how ESG information is considered as part of the overall investment process.


The Fund manager includes environmental considerations in the research, selection, monitoring and reporting phases of the investment process. This includes third-party data and material considerations, as defined by the investment team, of environmental criteria. The Fund manager undertakes rigorous research in the construction of internal research signals, which helps measure a company's exposure to, and management of, transition risks and opportunities associated with the low-carbon economy. This signal considers key performance indicators, as determined by the investment team, within the themes of natural resource management and core business involvement. Once these indicators have met the criteria necessary to be incorporated into the signal, this information is incorporated into investment decisions on an ongoing basis. The Fund manager additionally examines environmental exposures such as carbon emissions intensity and clean technology revenue during the reporting phase. These are sourced from Aladdin or directly from third-party data providers.

Geographic exposure relates principally to the domicile of the issuers of the securities held in the product, added together and then expressed as a percentage of the product’s total holdings. However, in some instances it can reflect the country where the issuer of the securities carries out much of their business.
