PCLN aims to contribute to a cleaner planet, globally investing in stocks that support the shift toward a more sustainable, environmentally conscious economy. The fund follows strict ESG guidelines, targeting firms that promote better ESG practices and exercise voting rights responsibly. Security selection begins with a proprietary thematic screen that filters the investable universe. Companies must have a positive impact on areas such as renewable energy, pollution control, water technology, sustainable agriculture, waste management, and circular economy initiatives. The 2nd stage involves a three-step process: (I) assessing companies for thematic alignment, liquidity, and volatility, (II) fundamental analysis of business quality, management, financials, and sustainability, and (III) weighting based on research insights, manager conviction, and risk factors. Investments exclude companies involved in controversial weapons, coal, or serious violations of the UN Global Compact.
