• To support an increase in access to basic services for underserved communities by investing in bonds that contribute to the following themes - Social Infrastructure, Health & Wellbeing and Education & Financial Inclusion, and engaging with the companies that issue them. This will be measured by the total number of beneficiaries across Fund themes on an annual basis.

We believe the new regime represents a positive step forward for the industry - one that will build trust in the sustainable investment market and help combat greenwashing.
• As a firm with a broad range of differentiated responsible and sustainable solutions, we recognise the important role we must play in improving transparency and investor understanding in this important area of the market.
