The Climate Progress Dashboard tracks the speed and scale of progress towards decarbonisation Growth opportunities will emerge Tougher policies will impact profit pools Physical climate impacts will accelerate Fossil divestment is too limited Impacts

Carbon value-at-risk Climate growth theme exposure Carbon footprint Physical climate risk exposure Potential emissions exposure Measures the proportion of cash earnings at risk if carbon prices rise to $100/t, based on our proprietary modelling. Individual company exposures are weighted by their importance to the portfolio or benchmark Measures the extent to which portfolio companies are exposed to markets likely to benefit from faster growth resulting from a low carbon transition. Industries are assigned scores -2 (strong headwind) to +2 (strong tailwind) and combined with companies' market exposures to determine company scores. Measures the carbon emissions of portfolio companies relative to their sales. Divides companies' reported or estimated scope one and two carbon emissions by sales and combines those intensities with weights to determine portfolio footprints Measures the extent to which the company's assets are exposed to risks of physical disruption. Combines companies' reported assets in each geographic region with GermanWatch measures of national climate risk exposure. Higher values indicate more risk Measures the level of fossil fuel reserves held by portfolio companies. Divides the carbon contained each company's reported fossil fuel reserves by its sales. Portfolio values are calculated by combining companies according to their weights Weaker Stronger Individual portfolio holdings Portfolio aggregate position Benchmark aggregate position

Weights will vary among accounts within the strategy, are subject to change and should not be viewed as an investment recommendation. Ex-ante Tracking Error is sourced from PRISM (Style Research). Attribution Disclosure Performance attribution is based on FactSet data and should be taken as indicative only. It will not match actual published performance due to several features of FactSet methodology. These include: timing differences on pricing of constituents; not accounting for transaction costs or management fees; assuming trades go through at closing prices rather than actual price dealt; using un-audited accounting data. Sectors, industries, regions, countries or securities shown are for illustrative purposes only and should not be viewed as a recommendation to buy/sell. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Model Disclosure Ranks are constructed by ranking stocks within the relevant universe comprise a selection of Value terms (such as Earnings to Price, Book to Price, Sales to Price, etc.), and Quality terms (Profitability e.g. Return on Equity, Stability e.g. Sales Stability and Financial Strength Debt to Market Cap). The final construction of the rank is done using QEP proprietary weighting scheme Where model results have been included, there could be no assurance that any transactions actually performed in a managed portfolio could have been executed at the times or prices used for the purpose of calculating the performance in the model. No allowance was made in the model portfolio for advisory fees. The actual performance of managed accounts can also impacted by non-quantitative factors such as additional stock selection and risk management activities of the portfolio management

  • team. These factors cannot be modeled predictably and were not used in preparing the underlying quantitative model or the simulated results. The model portfolio results are hypothetical
  • results. They do not represent an attempt to show actual performance. They are used only to illustrate the impact of a quantitative model. They cannot be used to reflect actual or expected

managed portfolio returns. 15
