To what minimum extent are sustainable investments with an environmental objective aligned with the EU Taxonomy?
Due to a lack of reliable data the fund does not commit to invest a minimum proportion of sustainable investments with an environmental objective aligned with the EU Taxonomy.

However, it may occur that part of the investments’ underlying economic activities are aligned with the EU Taxonomy.
What is the minimum share of investments in transitional and enabling activities?

What is the minimum share of sustainable investments with an environmental objective that are not aligned with the EU Taxonomy?

In addition, and on an ancillary basis, this fund will invest into investments that are not considered aligned with the promoted characteristics (#2 Other).
