Aviva Investors - Global Climate Equity Fund I USD
Fund overview
Objective: The objective of the Fund is to increase the value of the Shareholder's investment over the long term (5 years or more), by investing in equities of companies that are either providing solutions that help tackle the impacts of climate change or transitioning their business models and operations towards a net zero and/or warmer economy.
Investments: The Fund invests at least 90% of total net assets in equities of companies from anywhere in the world (including emerging markets) which, at the point of investment, qualify as Sustainable Investments (see “Responsible Investment” section).
The Fund has two investment categories:
• “Solutions”, which allocates to stocks of companies that are deemed to be contributing to the objective by providing products and services for climate change mitigation and/or adaptation;
• “Operations”, which allocates to stocks of companies actively aligning or have already aligned their business models and operations to be resilient in a warmer climate and adaptable to a low-carbon economy, hence reducing their impact on climate change.
The Fund's investments can include ADRs, GDRs, options on equities, exchange-traded warrants, convertible securities and participation certificates among others.
Strategy: Companies will be identified as Sustainable Investments if they satisfy the “Solutions” or “Operations” eligibility criteria as detailed in the Prospectus and are not excluded from the investment universe through the Paris-Aligned Benchmark (PAB) or other exclusions.

Fund commentary
Summary review
Global equity markets rose in US dollar terms in January as the rally through the second half of last year, powered by AI, positive earnings momentum and hopes of more central-bank rate cuts, showed little signs of ending. The fund produced a small positive return and underperformed its benchmark index over the month.

Risks
Investment risk & currency risk: The value of an investment and any income from it can go down as well as up and can fluctuate in response to changes in currency and exchange rates. Investors may not get back the original amount invested.
Equities risk: Equities can lose value rapidly, can remain at low prices indefinitely, and generally involve higher risks — especially market risk — than bonds or money market instruments. Bankruptcy or other financial restructuring can cause the issuer's equities to lose most or all of their value.
Counterparty risk: The Fund could lose money if an entity with which it does business becomes unwilling or is unable to meet its obligations to the Fund.
Emerging market risk: Investments can be made in emerging markets. These markets may be volatile and carry higher risk than developed markets.
Derivatives risk: Investments can be made in derivatives, which can be complex and highly volatile. Derivatives may not perform as expected, meaning significant losses may be incurred.
Specialist Fund Risk: Certain of the Fund's investments may be more susceptible to foreign government policies, including tax incentives and subsidies, as well as political support for certain environmental initiatives and developments. Under certain market conditions, the Fund may underperform funds that invest in a broader array of shares in global companies, for example, funds that do not provide any screening of companies undertaking fossil fuel activities.
Full information on risks applicable to the Fund are in the Prospectus and the Key Investor Information Document (KIID).
