| Further remarks on the consideration of SDGs | - |
| Rationale behind classification according to SFDR | Article 9 The investment process aims to consistently identify high quality sustainable companies that the Investment Adviser believes have the capacity to generate superior performance; these are companies which qualify as “sustainable investments” as defined under the SFDR, that also have predictable earnings growth and are attractively valued. |
| Engagement | Yes, organized internally Link to engagement policy |
| Voting | Yes, organized internally Link to voting policy |
| Best-in/of-Class | No |
| ESG-Integration | Yes Our Sustainable Investment team have fully integrated ESG factors and analysis throughout their process including using long term sustainability themes to identify potential opportunities and using a combination of screening, thematic analysis, and sustainability analysis with a proprietary Sustainability Matrix combining product sustainability with ESG management quality. These are all binding aspects of the investment process. The Sustainable Investment team are responsible for the analysis of sustainability, financial and valuation characteristics of potential investments and the portfolio management and research functions are integrated. All Fund Managers on the team conduct research and are assigned sectors. The integrated approach has the benefit of ensuring a collaborative, team-based approach. All new ideas are debated as a team in the weekly team meeting, with all members of the team encouraged to test the investment case put forward. This has the advantage of ensuring only the most robust investment theses are included in the portfolio. |

SDGs
Education
We work to better understand the big sustainable trends that are happening and analyse these themes to check which companies will be potential winners or losers from major multi-decade
changes in different parts of our economy. Why is this relevant to investors? This helps us identify potential areas of the economy and companies that will experience structural growth and helps inform our investment decision and give us conviction in the businesses we own. We feel most investors underestimate the speed, scale and persistency of such trends within our economy.
We therefore look at the world through the prism of three mega trends, Better resource efficiency (cleaner), Improved health (healthier) and Greater safety and resilience (safer), and 21 themes within these.
• Cleaner: Using our resources more efficiently (water, increasing
recycling of waste, lower carbon energy sources and energy
efficiency)
• Healthier: Improving our quality of life through better education,
healthier lifestyles and diet or better healthcare
• Safer: Making the systems we rely on safer or more resilient.
This includes car safety, keeping our online data safe with
cyber-security and spreading risk through appropriate insurance
mechanisms.

| Further information on the sustainability approach | The Liontrust Sustainable Investment team have been managing their Sustainable Future (SF) funds for 22 years. Since the funds’ launch in 2001, Peter Michaelis and the team have been seeking companies to help create a cleaner, safer and healthier society for the future and generate attractive returns for investors. All the sustainable elements in managing the SF funds are integrated within a single team: there are not separate fund management and ESG divisions. Our Sustainable Investment process is based on a core belief that sustainable companies have better growth and are more resilient than the market gives them credit for. We use this underappreciated advantage as we look to deliver outperformance across equity, bond and managed portfolios and, in supporting these sustainable companies, we can also accelerate environmental and social improvements.
