Why invest in ASR3 from India
What ASR3 holds
The primary objective of this sub-fund is to mirror the total return of the Bloomberg-Barclays MSCI Euro Corp SRI Sustainable Ex Fossil Fuel 1-3Y (NTR) Index (Bloomberg: I34701), embracing all its market movements. A key aim is to ensure that the tracking error, which measures the difference in performance between the sub-fund and its benchmark index, is consistently kept below 1%.
