ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) GUIDELINES The Fund evaluates financially material ESG factors as part of the investment decision-making process, considering a range of impacts they may have on future revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and overall risk.

There is no guarantee that the ESG strategy will be successful.
