Their inclusion should not be interpreted as a recommendation to buy or sell. MSCI Carbon Metrics and ESG data updated quarterly. MSCI ACWI weighted average carbon intensity of 151 tCO2E/$m sales. The portfolio uses the index for performance comparison only. The index is not a designated sustainable reference benchmark in light of EU Regulation 2019/2088 and does therefore not have a particular focus on ESG. The metrics provided show the ESG performance of the portfolio compared to the ESG performance of the index during the reference period and are for information only. The manager does not rely on these metrics in managing the portfolio but rather uses its own investment process in selecting investments.
Built on three pillars of sustainability
The fund combines a top-down focus on macro drivers, including sustainable themes, with a bottom-up emphasis on positive ESG characteristics and exclusions of unsustainable industries. Strategy selection draws on three pillars of sustainability.
In actively managed assets deemed by J.P. Morgan Asset Management to be ESG integrated under our governance process, we systematically assess financially material ESG factors amongst other factors in our investment decisions with the goals of managing risk and improving long-term returns. ESG integration does not by itself change a strategy’s investment objective, exclude specific types of companies or constrain a strategy’s investable universe.

Macro investing with J.P. Morgan Asset Management
Mispricings of macro themes can occur over multiple time horizons, across and within asset classes. Our specialist team of macro investors seeks to capture these through two perspectives: long-term secular themes and current economic conditions. The team invests across asset classes through long and short exposures, seeking to achieve the most efficient portfolio that reflects these macro views. Risk analysis is embedded throughout the process and supported by an independent risk team.
Risk management does not imply elimination of risks.
1 In the above context ESG refers to the systematic inclusion of financially material ESG factors (alongside other relevant factors) in investment analysis and investment decisions with the goals of managing risk and improving long-term returns.
