FTGF ClearBridge US Large Cap Growth Fund

The Fund promotes environmental and social characteristics in accordance with Article 8 of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (the “SFDR”). 

In its implementation of the Fund’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy, the Investment Manager favors issuers with good ESG profiles, as captured by its proprietary ESG methodology.

The Fund’s environmental or social characteristics are assessed both quantitatively and qualitatively, by means of sustainability indicators as well as of the Investment Manager’s proprietary research and engagement process to determine a company's profile on ESG issues. This includes generating an ESG rating, through the Investment Manager’s proprietary ESG ratings system as further described in the Website disclosure’s dedicated sections. As part of its investment decision making process, the Fund’s ESG strategy also uses binding criteria for the selection of underlying assets and applies specific ESG exclusions.

Finally, the Fund has a minimum allocation of 20% of its portfolio to sustainable investments. The Fund ensures that its sustainable investments do not cause significant harm to any environmental or social sustainable investment objective.
