The fund is an actively managed fund that primarily holds investment grade debt securities from both government and corporate issuers in Canada that have favorable ESG practices. The adviser uses an in-house evaluation process that assigns a score based on a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the issuers environmental, social, and governance practices. If an issuer is determined to have an overall score that meets the applicable threshold, they are then selected for inclusion in the fund. Certain sectors are excluded, mainly those that derive a majority of their revenue from controversial products like tobacco, alcohol, and weapons. BESG may invest up to 25% of net assets in below investment grade securities, and up to 30% in foreign securities. Foreign currency exposure will be hedged.
