For certain strategies that the adviser determines to be ESG integrated, the adviser integrates financially material environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors as part of the Fund’s investment process (ESG Integration). ESG Integration is the systematic inclusion of ESG issues in investment analysis and investment decisions. ESG Integration is dependent upon the availability of sufficient ESG information for the applicable investment universe. In addition, in order for an actively managed strategy to be considered ESG integrated, the adviser requires: (1) portfolio management teams to consider proprietary research on the financial materiality of ESG issues on investments; (2) documentation of the adviser’s research views and methodology throughout the investment process; and (3) appropriate monitoring of ESG considerations in ongoing risk management and portfolio monitoring. ESG determinations may not be conclusive and securities of companies/issuers may be purchased and retained, without limit, regardless of potential ESG impact. The impact of ESG Integration on performance is not specifically measurable as investment decisions are discretionary regardless of ESG considerations. As ESG integration considers financially material ESG factors, it does not by itself change a strategy’s investment objective, exclude specific types of companies, or constrain a strategy’s universe. Certain strategies have additional ESG investment processes that go beyond ESG integration. Please see the offering documents or investment policies for the strategy for any exclusions, constraints on investments, or additional ESG investment processes or strategies.
