Frequently asked questions and answers
In our FAQ you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about UnitPlus and investing in general.
How sustainable are the individual EFTs in the portfolio?
Sustainability concerns us all. That is why we at UnitPlus have
opted for a firm anchoring of
ESG criteria
. ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance.
Environmental issues include factors such as greenhouse gas
emissions, energy efficiency, and pollution. Occupational health,
safety, diversity, and social commitment are found in social
factors. Corporate governance deals with aspects around corporate
values and control processes.
Each of the
ETFs
within the UnitPlus portfolios has these ESG factors. So this
applies to the equity ETFs as well as the bond ETFs. Three of the
five equity ETFs used by UnitPlus have the strictest
interpretation of ESG criteria with the so-called Socially
Responsible Investing criteria. Only 25% of companies with the
highest ESG scores are considered investment opportunities.
The aim is thus to offer an
investment
that anchors environmental issues more firmly in the investment
process. In addition, this can also be sustainable for
profitability in the long term. The rating agency MSCI rewards our
sustainability approach with an ESG score of 8.2 (out of 10) for
all four portfolios, an above-average good value.
