Principal Sustainable Investment Strategy: Thematic Investing-Environmental
Summary:
(1)_The fund seeks to replicate the performance of the MSCI China IMI Environment 25/50 Index which is designed to track the equity market performance of Chinese companies that derive at least a majority of their revenues from environmentally beneficial products and services, as determined by MSCI Inc., the provider of the index. The index is intended to provide exposure to Chinese issuers that focus on contributing to a more environmentally sustainable economy by making efficient use of scarce natural resources or by mitigating the impact of environmental degradation. The index aims to include companies with exposure to one or more of the following five themes: (1) alternative energy; (2) sustainable water; (3) green building; (4) pollution prevention; and (5) energy efficiency.

(2) The fund seeks to maintain exposure to carbon credit futures that are substantially the same as those included in the IHS Markit Global Carbon Index designed to measure the performance of a portfolio of liquid carbon credit futures that require “physical delivery” of emission allowances issued under cap-and-trade regimes. The index includes only carbon credit futures that mature in December of the next one to two years and that have a minimum average monthly trading volume over the previous six months of at least $10 million. Eligible carbon credit futures issued by cap-and-trade regimes in the following geographic regions.  (1) Europe, the Middle East and Africa, (2) the Americas, and (3) the Asia-Pacific. In addition, no single carbon credit futures contract expiring in a particular year will receive an allocation of less than 5% or more than 60% at the semi-annual rebalancing or annual reconstitution of the Index.

As of year-end 2021, the Index included carbon credit futures linked to the value of emissions allowances issued under the following cap and trade regimes: the European Union Emissions Trading System, the California Carbon Allowance, and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.  The UK Allowances (UKA) carbon credit futures was added prior to year-end 2021.

(3)  The fund seeks to maintain exposure to carbon credit futures that are substantially the same as those included in IHS Markit Carbon CCA Index designed to measure the performance of a portfolio of futures contracts on carbon credits issued under the California Carbon Allowance cap-and-trade regime, including carbon credits issued by Quebec since the California and Quebec markets were linked pursuant to the Western Climate Initiative in 2014. Carbon credits issued by Quebec consist of approximately 15% of the carbon credits issued under the California Carbon Allowance cap-and-trade regime. Qualifications of carbon credit futures same as KraneShares Global Carbon Strategy ETF.

(4)  The fund seeks to maintain exposure to carbon credit futures that are substantially the same as those included in IHS Markit Carbon EUA Index designed to measure the performance of a portfolio of futures contracts on carbon credits issued under the European Union Emissions Trading System cap-and-trade regime.   Qualifications of carbon credit futures same as KraneShares Global Carbon Strategy ETF.

Getting started

Many questions have surfaced in recent years regarding sustainable and ESG investing.  Here, investors and financial intermediaries will find materials that describe the various approaches to sustainable investing and their implementation.  While sustainable investing approaches vary and they have thus far defied universally accepted definitions, many practitioners agree that they fall into the following broad categories:  Values-based investing, investing via exclusions, impact investing, thematic investments and ESG integration.  In conjunction with each of these approaches, investors may also adopt various issuer engagement procedures and proxy voting practices.  That said, sustainable investing approaches will continue to evolve.

In addition to periodic updates regarding sustainable investing and how this form of investing is evolving, investors and financial intermediaries interested in implementing a sustainable investing approach will also find source materials that cover basic investing themes as well as asset allocation tactics.
