Aviva Investors – Natural Capital Global Equity Fund Class I EUR Acc
Fund overview
Objective: To increase the value of the Shareholder’s investment over the long term (5 years or more) and aim to support the transition towards a nature positive economy, by investing in equities of companies that are either providing solutions to reduce human impact on nature, or transitioning their business models and operations towards a nature positive economy.
Core Investments: The Fund invests at least 90% of total net assets in equities and equity-related securities of companies from anywhere in the world (including emerging markets) which, at the point of investment, will qualify as Sustainable Investments (see “Responsible Investment” section).
The Fund’s equity and equity-related investments can include ADRs, GDRs, options on equities, exchange-traded warrants, convertible securities and participation certificates among others. The Fund does not buy equity warrants but may hold any it receives in connection with equities it owns. The Fund may invest in China A-Shares through Shanghai Hong Kong Stock Connect and through Shenzhen Hong Kong Stock Connect.
Strategy: The Fund is actively managed and has two categories:
• “Solutions”, which allocates to stocks of companies that are deemed to be contributing to the objective by providing products and services that reduce human impact on nature;
• “Operations”, which allocates to stocks of companies that are deemed to be addressing their negative impacts on natural capital and biodiversity, aligning or that have already aligned their business models and operations to reduce these impacts, better manage related risks, and support the shift to a nature positive economy.
Companies will be identified as Sustainable Investments if they satisfy the “Solutions” or “Operations” eligibility criteria and are not excluded from the investment universe.

Fees and expenses
Portfolio
Risks
Investment and 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.
Illiquid Securities Risk
Certain assets held in the Fund could, by nature, be hard to value or to sell at a desired time or at a price considered to be fair (especially in large quantities), and as a result their prices could be very volatile.
Derivatives Risk
Derivatives are instruments that can be complex and highly volatile, have some degree of unpredictability (especially in unusual market conditions), and can create losses significantly greater than the cost of the derivative itself.
Sustainability Risk
The level of sustainability risk to which the Fund is exposed, and therefore the value of its investments, may fluctuate depending on the investment opportunities identified by the Investment Manager.
Full information on the risks applicable to the Fund is detailed in the KIID and Prospectus.
