The key figures are based on publicly available information from third-party providers on the reporting date. Not all third-party providers publish information, which is why the degree of coverage is not necessarily 100%. The calculation methods are harmonised. This leads to retrospective corrections, which we apply in each case.

Sustainability

SF Property Securities Fund pursues a sustainability policy that is based on the consistent evaluation of the ESG performance indicators that are relevant to the selection of investments. A regular ESG dialogue with all relevant market players provides sustained support to developments ensuring the availability of transparent and comparable information.

The investment objective and sustainability policy of SF Property Securities Fund are defined in the prospectus with integrated fund contract.

The sustainability strategy of SF Property Securities Fund aims to ensure the greatest possible coverage by GRESB data (Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark) and the systematic capture of environmental indicators for all investment vehicles. The focus falls mainly on the long-term reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Voting rights are exercised, with a particular emphasis given to appointing competent persons to the boards of directors of all companies.

Sustainability Approaches

The systematic exclusion of specific issuers due to activities or business practices that violate given norms or values or due to anticipated risks.

Consideration of sustainability risks and opportunities in traditional financial analysis and investment decision-making on the basis of systematic processes and appropriate research sources.

This is often used to refer to a combination of engagement and voting:

Voting: Expressing preferences with regard to sustainability issues by actively exercising voting rights.

Engagement: Active dialog with the aim of convincing to consider environmental, social, and governance criteria within their sphere of influence.

Reduction of the environmental footprint by lowering greenhouse gas emissions over time. A long-term goal should be implemented.
