1) Exclude companies with revenue from restricted industries (gambling, tobacco, adult entertainment, controversial weapons and thermal coal).

2) Exclude companies with high current controversy levels which may include environmental issues and product recalls. 

3) ESG focus: select companies with the highest environmental, social and governance scores

The Fund includes currency management.

The Commodity Plus Fund invests in a basket of six commodities using commodity futures. Allocations are based on a mean reversion approach - relatively cheap commodities have a heavier weighting, relatively expensive commodities have a lighter weighting. A momentum rule allocates between cash and commodities, intended to reduce the impact of large falls in commodity markets. The Fund can be allocated 100% to commodities, 100% to cash, or can partly allocate to each. In terms of socially responsible investing the Fund does not invest in uranium, coal or the shares of commodity producers.
