The EB-Öko-Aktienfonds, previously managed as a thematic fund, is expanding its investment strategy and policy and will become EB – Global Equities. In future, the fund will offer a clear focus on performance, distribution and sustainability. The proven team around lead fund manager Jan-Erik Schmidt will continue to manage the fund in the future.

“EB – Global Equities is a new fund with a proven concept,” says Chief Investment Officer Sebastian Kösters. “As an individual fund, it now offers all investor groups access to the global equity strategy of our high-performance multi-asset products and special fund mandates: globally diversified, distribution-oriented and with our strong sustainability concept.”

EB – Global Equities aims to achieve an annual distribution of 3 percent[1] and now offers private investors access to the global equity strategy, which was previously only available to institutional investors. The selection of stocks is based on growth, valuation and quality factors, which are combined depending on the current market phase.

Proven WIW concept remains

EB-SIM’s proven “Value (Werte) – Integration – Impact (Wirkung) Concept”(WIW concept) is used to select the securities to be included in the fund.

The foundation of the investment process is formed by values that are expressed through the EB Group’s sustainability filter. This filter combines the ethically-sustainable criteria of the guidelines for ethically-sustainable investments of the Evangelical Church in Germany ( EKD guidelines for short) with its own focal points, such as the impact of companies on the Sustainable Development Goals(values).

In order to manage investment risk in a targeted manner, EB-SIM uses its self-developed EB-ESG-score, which is supported by artificial intelligence (AI)(integration). Compared to conventional sustainability ratings, which are generally based on past performance, this also enables a forward-looking and therefore more precise assessment of the sustainability of companies. The AI-supported EB-ESG score therefore makes a decisive contribution to controlling the risk for investors without them having to forego returns, as EB-SIM studies show.

In addition to achieving a positive financial return, EB-SIM’s goal remains to promote sustainable transformation in business and society(impact). Through its engagement strategy based on targeted corporate dialogues and the exercise of voting rights, it supports positive change and creates long-term value.
