Further remarks on the consideration of SDGs -
Rationale behind classification according to SFDR Article 8 Article 8 funds include selection criteria based on the SPICE rating and specific criteria according to the philosophy of each fund. These are mainly multi-thematic funds with SRI labels, with high minimum levels of sustainable investment of 50% or 70%. GIS SRI Ageing Population promotes social characteristics and commits to a minimum of 50% sustainable investments with a social objective.

Best-in/of-Class No The fund pursues a best-in-universe approach As Sycomore AM is part of Generali's multi-boutiques platform, Sycomore is managing GIS SRI Ageing Population on behalf of Generali Investment Partners. Therefore, Sycomore AM's ESG policy fully applies to the management of this sub-fund. The proprietary "SPICE" tool is used to score all the investment universe, then, all the securities showing an ESG score less that 3/5 are deemed poorly-rated in terms of ESG and are therefore not included in the portfolio.

Themes
-
GIS SRI Ageing Population was designed and launched in 2015 following a study conducted by Generali’s Research department, looking into key trends affecting insurance companies, their markets and their clients.Generali Investments decided to launch a strategy with the objective to capture that specific thematic growth, through companies benefiting from this theme and having a real impact on improving the livelihood of “seniors” - whether it is through the provision of healthcare, their pensions (pre and post-retirement) and/or their consumption habits and preferences. The Sub- fund has a sustainable investment objective as the SRI process is designed to invest into listed companies which contribute to social objectives linked to the long-term trend of ageing population and structured around three pillars Healthcare, Pensions & Savings and Consumer Goods These constitute the 3 thematic investment pillars we consider in this sub-fund. We also determined that applying an ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) approach to this theme would be relevant considering the medium to long term nature of this socio-demographic trend and the human capital element when dealing with the economics of Seniors. Finally, the ESG screening we apply allows us to identify and mitigate extra financial risks which could be detrimental to the strategy’s performance over time - potential litigation and/or loss of trust for instance.
Impact Investing
Environmental Social Governance
Even if the sub-fund is having a clear focus on a "social thematic", the impact is measured and monitored on the 3 pillars (E,S, G) and even on human rights, as the fund managers monitors closely the following impact KPIs : - On the environment pillar: Net Environmental Contribution (NEC) indicator aims to determine the contribution of the activities of a company to the ecological transition, with a rating from -100% to +100% depending of the negative or positive impact of its activities on the environment. - On the social pillar: workforce growth over three years. - On the governance pillar: percentage of women in key management roles. - On human rights: percentage of companies with commitment to respecting human rights (disclosure of a Human Rights Policy). The above ESG indicators selection aims at having a better result on at least two indicators compared to the Sub-fund’s benchmark.
