New asset class: global impact investing

Since April 2024, we have a new mix fund: the ASR Wereldwijd Impact Aandelen Fonds C. This fund focuses not only realising a financial return in line with the market as a whole, it also aims to have a positive impact with respect to a sustainable future for people and the planet. The fund selects up to 30 listed companies that make measurable contributions to environmental and social goals, led by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The integration of this new investment category contributes to our aim for social return and promotes greater diversification within the portfolio without increasing investment costs. We believe that investing for the future can lead to higher returns in the long term. The introduction of the ASR Wereldwijd Impact Aandelen Fonds represents a shift between various investment categories within the mixed funds.
