Pioneer Funds - Global Ecology
Investment strategy
Pioneer Funds - Global Ecology invests worldwide in equities in the fields of ecology and environmental technology. The main targets of investment are stocks in companies which are developing environmentally-friendly products and technologies and thus contributing toward creating a clean and healthy environment or toward repairing existing damage. As a rule, these tend to be small and medium-sized enterprises. To these, the fund manager adds shares in large companies operating in the sustainability field, thereby spreading the investment risk. The selection of shares is subject to continuous stringent monitoring by the independent rating agency oekom research. The fund is not permitted to invest in firms which violate human rights or employment rights or which use child labour, nor in companies involved in armaments, tobacco, alcohol, gambling or pornography. In order to reduce the investment risk, the fund’s management does not rely on isolated securities, but invests across the whole spectrum of ecological and environmental technology and in all countries and regions which are relevant in this context. The potential investment performance of the fund is nonetheless subject to general market risks and to the particular risks of investing in shares issued by companies in specific sectors.
