The investment objective of the BCV Physical Gold ESG Sub-fund is to generate long-term performance comparable to that of gold. Substantially all of the Sub-fund's assets will be invested directly in physical gold, in the form of 1 kg bars having a purity of at least 999/1000 or in the form of standard bars of approximately 12.5 kg with a minimum purity of 995/1000. Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria are factored in to ensure that the physical gold investments are sourced from supply chains with reduced environmental and social risks related to gold mining. In this approach, the portfolio manager takes particular care to ensure the transparency of the gold's origin, through a careful choice of partners throughout the supply chain. The Sub-fund is passively managed. No active management is undertaken in order to limit losses in the event of a possible fall in the price of gold.
