Abrupt changes

A different approach is required when companies come out with negative news of a more structural nature. Examples are unexpected profit warnings and serious management issues. We feel that in these situations we should act quickly to avoid further potential negative performance impact. In these cases we will not perform an updated IC on the stock but act immediately.

Cash is not used as an active source of return as clients should make their own call on cash versus other markets and investors are focused on selecting the best investment opportunities within the equity universe. Therefore the SRI portfolio manager keeps cash at least below 5% of AuM in the SRI strategy and preferably significantly below this number. On average it varies around 1% and is predominantly determined by daily cash inflow and outflow developments. From a legal perspective the fund manager is allowed to generate cash up to 10% of AuM. We use different ratios and models to evaluate stocks as the weighting is highly dependent
