The fund's strategy is to invest primarily in global healthcare companies that deliver sustainable health solutions, applying ESG considerations with an active management approach to balance growth and sustainability objectives. The fund managers aim to invest in 35 to 40 sustainable healthcare companies.
The ISIN for the HSBC GIF Sustainable Healthcare fund is LU2324357040. The fund's focus extends to companies that offer alternative treatment methods, aiming to address inequalities in the healthcare model and contribute to a more sustainable future for healthcare.
