News and insights on sustainable investing

News from the world of sustainable investments

Sustainability is a term that has a long tradition at Erste Asset Management. We recognized early on that investors are increasingly taking responsibility for environmental, social and corporate governance aspects into account in their investment decisions. We have taken this awareness of sustainability as an opportunity to develop a broad range of ethical and sustainable funds for private and institutional clients since 2001.

For our sustainability dossier, the ESGenius Letter, we regularly highlight current topics from the world of sustainable investing. In addition, our experts from the Responsible Investments team and the fund management team provide you with news and insights on ESG topics such as engagement and voting.

The value of shares and their earnings can rise and fall. Changes in exchange rates can also have a positive or negative effect on the value of an investment. For this reason, you may receive less than your originally invested amount when you redeem your shares.

If the fund currency is a currency other than the investor's home currency, changes in the corresponding exchange rate may have a positive or negative impact on the value of his investment and the amount of the costs incurred in the fund - converted into his home currency.

Please consult the corresponding information in the fund prospectus and the Information for Investors pursuant to Art 21 AIFMG for restrictions on the sale of fund shares to American or Russian citizens. Misprints and errors excepted.
