Overview
The Kernel Global ESG Fund invests in a broad range of global equities that collectively align with the 2016 Paris Agreement. It rewards companies with strategies and outcomes aligned to keep global warming to 1.5° Celsius. It goes beyond simple exclusions to deliver a more robust ESG integration for investors wanting the companies they’ve invested in to be aligned with their values. The fund tracks the S&P Developed Ex-Korea Large Mid Cap Net Zero 2050 Paris-Aligned ESG Ex-Non-Pharma Animal Testing Index. Hedged against currency fluctuations. The hedging of currency means an investor receives the changes in value of underlying companies while minimising the changing strength of the New Zealand dollar, or gaining or losing when converting back to New Zealand.

The risk indicator reflects how much the value of the Fund’s assets goes up and down (volatility). A higher risk generally means higher potential returns over time, but more ups and downs along the way. The lowest risk rating doesn’t mean “risk-free” and this risk indicator is not a guarantee of a Fund’s future performance.
