OP-Low-carbon World
Equity market returns and a clearly lower carbon footprintCarbon neutral goals becoming more common – dependence on fossil fuels may be a risk
To curb climate change, global climate goals have been set to minimise the use of fossil fuels and to decrease greenhouse gas emissions by changing legislation and taxation. These changes mean that investing in companies whose activities result in high greenhouse gas emissions or that own fossil fuel reserves may become financially unattractive.
OP-Low-carbon World avoids investing in companies whose production-related emissions are high in proportion to their net sales or whose fossil fuel reserves are large in proportion to their market value. This fund seeks diversified equity market returns while keeping the carbon footprint at less than half that of a widely diversified global equity index.**
Why does it pay to invest in OP-Low-carbon World?
- You ensure competitive returns even if regulation of carbon dioxide emissions were to be tightened.
- This fund invests in global equity markets, so it is suited to investors seeking high returns.
- The goal of OP-Low-carbon World is a carbon footprint less than half the size of that of a widely diversified global equity index. So, by investing in this fund you choose a low carbon footprint investment product that is well diversified and covers all sectors.
We recommend the OP-Low-carbon World fund primarily to investors who intend to redeem their units after six years at the earliest. As our owner-customer, you can buy, sell and switch OP-Low-carbon World fund units at no charge.
