Past performance is no guarantee of future performance.

The composition of funds under this mandate

The following funds are currently included under the Impact Funds Mandate:

  • ABN AMRO Aegon Global Impact Equities Fund
  • ABN AMRO High Quality Impact Bond Fund
  • Privium Sustainable Impact Fund

These funds focus on the following asset classes:

  • Equity funds

Equity funds invest in a specific region or focus on a specific type of company. This includes companies that have the potential to grow and meet our sustainability criteria.

  • Bond funds

Bond funds can be included as part of the portfolio because of the relatively low risk. We use bond funds with varying credit ratings and different maturities.

  • Alternative investments

This category currently consists of an impact fund that invests in micro-loans, renewable energy projects, loans for students from developing countries, and similar.

  • Liquid assets

These are in an account where you receive interest on the balance. This account is covered by the Dutch deposit guarantee scheme.

Fees

Fees you pay to us

You pay us a management fee for our services, which include managing your portfolio. You will not be charged extra for withdrawals, changes to your mandate or risk profile or similar. Neither will you be charged if you decide to stop using Portfolio Management altogether. The exact fee depends on your risk profile: it will be between 1.21% and 1.39% of your invested assets per year (including 21% VAT).

Management fee

If you opt for Portfolio Management, you pay a management fee on the value of your investment portfolio, which covers all costs ABN AMRO incurs in providing that service. The fee covers the costs of:

  • managing your investment portfolio;
  • the administration for your investment portfolio;
  • the investment information we provide you; and
  • the transactions (in euros).

Fees that you pay to third parties

You pay a fee to cover an investment fund’s expenses, such as their ongoing expenses. These include administrative expenses, management expenses, marketing expenses and distribution expenses. The fee to cover these expenses is included in the investment fund’s price and set by the investment fund. The ongoing fees are listed in the Key Investor Information Document (KIID) for the relevant investment fund.

Other examples of fees you pay to third parties include the transaction fee to the fund, entry and exit fees, and swing price. Please note: there may be more fees. If there are, these will be listed in the Key Investor Information Document for the product in question.

Sustainability information

In compiling a socially responsible investment portfolio, the portfolio managers for the Impact Funds Mandate make clear choices. The mandate gives preference to investments that have as an objective a positive impact on the environment and society. This means that investment funds with above-average environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance are selected.

This mandate invests in equity funds, bond funds and alternative investments. At least 90% of the portfolio (excluding cash) must comprise investments that have as an objective a positive impact on the environment and society. It is possible that a portion of the actual portfolio can be considered an investment compliant with the Taxonomy-guideline, but there is no obligation for the mandate to include one or more investments compliant with the Taxonomy-guideline. The portfolio manager for the mandate will not use derivatives, though the selected investment funds may use derivatives to optimise portfolio management.

The following sustainability indicators are monitored:

  • Sustainalytics’ average ESG risk rating for the portfolio
  • Carbon emissions of the portfolio
  • Alignment with the Paris Climate Agreement to limit global warming to well under 2°C
  • Alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

The data used is obtained from two leading data providers, Sustainalytics/Morningstar and Institutional Shareholder Services group of companies (ISS). For the selection of the investment products in which it invests, the funds which the mandate invests in apply (at the behest of ABN AMRO) a strict investment procedure based on various sustainability criteria. The procedure starts with a ‘sustainability check’. The underlying shares, bonds and investment funds are assessed on aspects such as their way of operating, their governance and their impact on society.

Sustainable investing with Portfolio Management

Socially responsible investing is an important principle at ABN AMRO. Some investments (such as investments in companies that produce tobacco, cluster bombs and landmines) are completely excluded from all our investment concepts. 

With regard to 'tobacco', we differentiate between the production of tobacco and the sale of tobacco. ABN AMRO does not allow investments in producers of tobacco, whereas companies that ship cigarettes, and supermarkets that sell tobacco products, are not excluded.

Do you want to know how much impact you make with your investments? If you invest with ABN AMRO, you will receive an overview of the sustainable impact of your investments in your quarterly report.

Risk profiles

ABN AMRO uses 6 different risk profiles for its Portfolio Management service, ranging from a very low-risk profile (very defensive) to a very high-risk profile (very offensive). Each risk profile is associated with a specific portfolio model, which shows how we recommend you spread your investments across equities, bonds, alternative investments and liquid assets.

Once you have determined your risk profile with the guidance of your Investment Adviser, we will be able to put together an appropriate investment portfolio and immediately give you an idea of the impact on your investment returns.

Read more about the risk profiles
Statement of adverse effects on sustainability

ABN AMRO takes into account the main negative consequences of investment decisions and advice on sustainability factors. Sustainability factors include environmental, social and employment issues, respect for human rights, and the fight against corruption and bribery. We adhere to the Sustainability Risk Policy Framework of ABN AMRO Bank NV (“ABN AMRO”). The Sustainability Risk Policy Framework is partly based on the various corporate responsibility codes and on internationally recognised sustainability standards or initiatives to which ABN AMRO adheres.

Risks

You should only invest money that you do not need and that is surplus to your buffer for unforeseen expenses. While investing can be very interesting, it also entails risk. You could lose some or all of the money you invested. This is something you need to be aware of. Only invest in investment products that you understand.

If you opt for our Portfolio Management service, you do not make any investment choices yourself. Even so, you still need to be aware of the risks associated with investing.

When you start using our Portfolio Management service, you determine your own risk profile based on advice provided by your Investment Adviser. Our experts will then take care of buying and selling your investments, in line with your risk profile.

It is also good to know that:

  • A specialist department checks the investment risks in your portfolio every day. The daily operational processes that are a necessary part of managing your portfolio comply with the highest European standards (ISEA 3402). 
  • The investments in your portfolio are legally separate from ABN AMRO. They are held in your name and are therefore your property. This means that your investments will be safe in the unlikely event that ABN AMRO becomes insolvent.

Termination

You can stop using our Portfolio Management service at any time without paying any termination fees.
