Screening & Exclusion

We screen to detect risks and exclude companies that fail to improve in order to ensure our investments meet ethical and regulatory standards. 

Our approach to screening and exclusions

What is screening?

Screening is the process of evaluating and identifying companies that may pose ESG risks. 

  • Norm-based screening (conduct-based and non-conduct-based): Violations of international laws, human rights and global standards (e.g. UN Global Compact, OECD guidelines)
  • Product-based screening: Excludes companies involved in controversial sectors like tobacco, weapons, fossil fuels, gambling and adult entertainment 

What is exclusion?

Exclusion is the act of removing companies from our investment universe if:

  • They violate Storebrand’s sustainability standards
  • They fail to improve after engagement efforts
  • There is a risk they will continue behaving in an irresponsible manner

Historisk avkastning er ingen garanti for framtidig avkastning. Fremtidig avkastning vil som blant annet bero på markedsutviklingen, forvalternes dyktighet, fondets risikoprofil og forvaltningshonorar. Avkastningen kan bli negativ som følge av kursnedgang. Det er risiko forbundet med investering i fond på grunn av bevegelser i markedet, valutautvikling, rentenivå, samt konjunktur-, bransje- og selskapsforhold. Avkastningen kan øke eller minke som følge av valutakursendringer. Før du investerer, oppfordrer vi deg til å lese fondets prospekt og nøkkelinformasjon, som inneholder ytterligere detaljer om fondets egenskaper og kostnader.
