This is marketing material. Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Returns may be negative due to falling market values.
Future returns will depend, among other things, on market developments, the manager’s skill, the fund’s risk profile, and associated costs. Before investing, customers are advised to review the fund’s key information and prospectus, which contain more detailed information about the fund’s characteristics and costs. Note: Investing in the fund means acquiring units in the fund, not the underlying investments.
Exclusions
DNB AM aims to promote best practices and actively prefers active ownership over exclusions, but companies may be excluded from the investment universe if they violate the criteria in the group instruction for responsible investments.
