Investment Strategy:

KESG seeks to track the MSCI China ESG Leaders 10/40 Index. The MSCI China ESG Leaders 10/40 Index aims to provide exposure to companies with high Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) ratings relative to their sector peers. The MSCI China ESG Leaders 10/40 Index consists of large and mid-cap companies in China. In order to ensure diversification, the Index is designed to limit individual constituent weights to 10% and sector weights to 40% of its composition.

China’s ESG Highlights:

  • Chinese domestic investors and issuers are moving fast to incorporate ESG considerations in their decision making, driven by strong regulatory initiatives to promote ESG practices and disclosures.
  • China’s commitment to stricter environmental mandates and conservation efforts is necessary to achieve national goals of sustained economic growth. Consequently, China now is the world leader in total renewable energy capacity, at approximately 31% of total global capacity1.
  • China’s economic and technological transformation drives demand for a more educated workforce. In recent years, many Chinese companies in knowledge-intensive sectors have improved their talent programs, which has in turn upgraded their MSCI ESG Rating.
  • Greater inclusion of China’s capital markets internationally creates more of an incentive to align shareholder rights and governance policies with global standards, paving the way for Chinese companies to develop a more diversified shareholder structure.

KESG Features:

  • MSCI China ESG Leaders 10/40 Index inclusion criteria has a track record of effectively identifying growth companies within China’s new economy.
  • As companies with high ESG scores have proven to consistently outperform their peers in China, investors do not necessarily have to compromise returns for investing based on beliefs.
  • Benchmarked to an MSCI ESG Index: MSCI is the #1 index provider for ESG, Socially Responsible Investment (SRI), and Corporate governance indexes according to a 2018 survey of 1,300 participants conducted by SRI Connect and Extel.

The Funds are subject to political, social or economic instability within China which may cause decline in value. Fluctuations in currency of foreign countries may have an adverse effect to domestic currency values. Emerging markets involve heightened risk related to the same factors as well as increase volatility and lower trading volume.

Narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility.
