Candriam Equities L Europe Innovation, I - Capitalisation/  LU0344046668  /

The fund seeks to achieve capital growth by investing in the principal assets traded and to outperform the benchmark. The management team makes discretionary investment choices based on economic/financial analyses, but also on the basis of Candriam's internal analysis of environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria. The selection of companies is based on a combination of two criteria: the ability to innovate and the financial quality. The analysis of the ability to innovate identifies the most innovative companies in their sector. This includes, but is not limited to, product innovation, organisational innovation, marketing innovation, etc. The analysis of financial quality selects the best companies according to five criteria: quality of management, growth potential, competitive advantage, value creation and indebtedness. The fund promotes, among other characteristics, environmental and/or social characteristics but does not have sustainable investment as its objective. The issuers are evaluated on the basis of an analysis of their commercial activities (how the companies respond to the main challenges of sustainable development such as climate change, resource management and waste management) and stakeholders (how the companies manage the main considerations concerning stakeholders such as human resources, the environment, etc.).
