Arabesque Q3.17 Sicav - Global Islamic ESG Equity - USD DIS Fonds

The objective of the Sub-Fund is long-term capital appreciation through investments into a sustainable Sharia-compliant equity universe (Arabesque Investment Universe). The Arabesque Investment Universe is determined on a quarterly basis. As a general rule, past results offer no guarantee of future performance. There can be no guarantee that the Sub-Fund's objectives will be achieved. The Arabesque Investment Universe contains Sharia-compliant equities and equity-related securities (equity securities) from companies worldwide that have passed a systematic selection process. The ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) assessment utilizes a Best in Class approach per sector to exclude companies with inferior scores. Companies that are in breach of the principles of UN Global Compact (human rights, labour rights, anti-corruption, environment) are excluded as well. The Arabesque Investment Universe is furthermore screened by liquidity parameters such as market capitalization, daily turnover and free float. The Sub-Fund will mainly invest in equities and equity related securities (such as, but not limited to, ordinary shares, certificates, ADR (American Depositary Receipt), GDR (Global Depositary Receipt), notes) issued by companies worldwide that are contained in the Arabesque Investment Universe.
