DRFD seeks to replicate, to the extent reasonably possible and before fees and expenses, the performance of a developed markets (ex-USA ex-Canada) index that employs a multifactor approach. Currently, DRFD seeks to replicate the performance of the Scientific Beta Desjardins Developed ex US ex CA RI Low Carbon Multifactor Index, net of fees and expenses. Under normal market conditions, DRFD will primarily invest in large and mid-cap companies from the Scientific Beta Developed Markets (ex-USA ex-Canada) Universe while seeking to deliver a significant reduction in the weighted average carbon intensity of DRFD’s portfolio relative to the cap-weighted Index of the Scientific Beta Developed Markets (ex-USA ex-Canada) Universe and ensuring that all Constituent Issuers meet Pre-Determined ESG Standards.
