Income and accumulation units
With income units, any income is paid as cash. This can be withdrawn, reinvested or simply held on your account. With accumulation units any income is retained within the fund; the number of units remains the same but the price of each unit increases by the amount of income generated within the fund. Generally accumulation units offer a slightly more efficient way to reinvest income, although many investors will choose to hold income units and reinvest the income to buy extra units.

In some cases the ongoing savings are provided by our loyalty bonus. Loyalty bonuses are tax-free in an ISA or SIPP. However, they may be subject to tax in a Fund & Share Account which would, in effect, reduce their value and increase the net ongoing charge.

Fund Objective
The objective of the Fund is to provide capital growth over the long-term, being five years or more. Five years is also the minimum recommended period for holding shares in this Fund. This does not mean that the Fund will achieve the objective over this, or any other, specific time period and there is a risk of loss to the original capital invested. The Investment Adviser also aims for at least 70% of the Fund to be invested in companies and other assets that have products or services that (i) enable better management and protection of the planet’s resources; (ii) reduce inequalities and increase economic resilience; and (iii) help people to lead healthier lives; where the products and services are aligned to a number of environmental and social sustainability growth themes (“sustainable growth themes”). To be aligned with the sustainable growth themes, companies and other assets held by the Fund must meet a “Sustainability Standard”, where (i) 50% of their revenues are aligned with at least one of the global sustainable development priorities set out in the 169 targets which form part of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); (ii) they do not conflict with the Fund’s sustainability objective; and (iii) they do not breach the exclusionary criteria, detailed below. Up to 10% of the Fund’s assets (excluding deposits, cash or near cash) may be in investments that do not meet the “Sustainability Standard”, provided they do not conflict with it. The Investment Adviser applies a set of exclusionary screens and, for example, will not invest in companies that it believes have a negative societal or environmental impact, including those with more than 10% of their revenues coming from tobacco, gambling or coal mining. The Investment Adviser will not invest in companies with any involvement in banned weapons or those it believes contravene human rights. More details on the Fund’s investment policy including the analysis focusing on an investment’s financial credentials, as well as alignment to the Fund’s sustainable growth themes, and the full exclusionary screening criteria, can be found in the prospectus.
Sustainability Label
Sustainability Focus funds invest mainly in companies that are sustainable for people or the planet. Examples may include companies producing energy from renewable sources, such as solar, wind or hydrogen.
