Candriam Sust. Bond Emerging Markets C EUR

Principal assets traded:Bonds (including high yield bonds) and other debt securities, more in particular publicly traded sovereign and sub-sovereign debt, denominated principally in developed countries' currencies and, on an ancillary basis, in local currencies issued by emerging countries, public entities and semi-public issuers operating in emerging countries, or, on an ancillary basis, in debt issued by companies based in emerging countries.Investment strategy:The fund seeks to achieve capital growth by investing in the principal assets traded and to outperform the benchmark.The management team makes discretionary investment choices on the basis of an economic/financial analysis process as well as on a Candriam's proprietary analysis of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations, both indicative of risks and long-term opportunities.The fund's sustainable investment objective is to contribute to sustainable practices, in particular the promotion of democracy and alignment with the Paris Agreement on climate change to limit global warming by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This objective is achieved through a combination of positive selection of sovereign issuers on the back of a proprietary ESG analysis as well as specific indicators relating to democracy (Freedom House Index) and the environment (CO2 Intensity Country score). For corporate issuers the fund aims to have long-term positive impact on environment and social objectives.Sovereign issuers are selected based on their ESG ranking assessed through a proprietary analysis of their human, social, natural and economic capital management. For instance a country with an authoritarian regime and poor alignment with the Paris Agreement objectives will be negatively rated compared to one with democratic institutions and high reliance on renewable energy.This investment approach will cause the fund to avoid certain issuers due to their poor ESG quality or contribution to attaining sustainability ob
