In line with its commitment to responsible finance, Rothschild & Co Asset Management Europe has obtained the French SRI1 label for four open-ended funds in its 4Change range, bringing the total to eight labelled funds.2
These new labels concern:
• R-co 4Change Convertibles Europe, European convertible bond fund.
• R-co 4Change Equity Euro, Eurozone equity fund.
• R-co Valor 4Change Global Equity, global equity fund.
• R-co OPAL 4Change Equity Europe, European equity fund of funds.
The labels are part of a comprehensive approach to integrating environmental, social and governance criteria at the heart of the division’s management strategies, while 96% of assets managed in its open-ended funds are currently classified in Articles 8 and 9, following SFDR regulation.
"We are continuing our responsible investor approach by expanding our 4Change range, the aim of which is to combine financial performance with enhanced ESG selection and the search for impact." said Didier Bouvignies, General Partner, CIO at Rothschild & Co Asset Management Europe. "This new development reflects our desire to align ourselves with the market's most demanding standards in terms of sustainable finance" added Ludivine de Quincerot, Head of ESG and Financial Analysis at Rothschild & Co Asset Management Europe.
