FTGF Brandywine Global Income Optimiser Fund

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

In its implementation of the Fund’s unconstrained investment strategy, the Investment Manager integrates environmental, social and governance considerations across multiple fixed income sectors on a country-, fundamental- and sectoral-basis.

The Fund’s environmental and social characteristics are assessed both quantitatively and qualitatively, by means of sustainability indicators as well as of the Investment Manager’s multifaceted approach to assess ESG factors, which includes proprietary ESG scoring, exclusions and engagement as further described in the website disclosure’s dedicated sections. As part of its investment decision making process, the Investment Manager  also uses binding ESG criteria for the selection of underlying assets.

Finally, the Fund has a minimum allocation of 1% of its portfolio to sustainable investments. The Investment Manager ensures that sustainable investments do not cause significant harm to  their environmental or social sustainable investment objective.
