As an integral part of the Fund's strategy, all activities must be in line with the ESG policy. The day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund’s investments is outsourced to external asset managers. When selecting, monitoring and reviewing asset managers our ESG policy and targets are also part of the process. In the day-to-day portfolio management our external asset managers must and do take non-financial aspects into account. Such as, but not limited to, GHG emissions, energy and water usage of the companies. However the companies that the Fund is exposed to are largely determined by the strategic benchmark the Fund is bound to. Therefore, it could occur that the Fund has exposure to listed real estate companies that have a below average performance on the earlier mentioned non-financial aspects. Through our external asset managers these specific companies could be approached by the Fund about their below average performance on non-financial aspects, with the goal to encourage improvement (engagement).
