SCRD is an actively managed fund that primarily invests in USD denominated investment grade debt, issued by companies the adviser believes exhibit sustainable business practices. The funds universe is first constructed by excluding issuers that dont comply with the UN Global Compact, and/or that derive a majority of their revenue from industries that negatively impact the society or environment. Using proprietary criteria, securities are selected that align with certain positive social and environmental themes. These themes are: 1) Transition to a Green Economy, 2) Economic and Community Development and Inclusion, 3) Knowledge & Technology, and Innovation, and 4) Health & Well-Being. A fundamental research process is also utilized, which considers third party data, analysis and ratings to construct the final portfolio. SCRD may allocate a small portion of the fund to invest in high-yield securities, US Treasurys, emerging market loans, and cash.
