Kathrein Privatbank receives award from Stiftung Warentest for sustainable equity fund

Stiftung Warentest evaluated globally investing equity funds with regard to sustainability and investment success for the September issue of Finanztest. Only 99 funds made it to the finals. The Kathrein Sustainable Global Equity achieved a ranking in the 1st quartile in the sustainability evaluation and in the investment performance and is thus one of the top funds. As an actively managed fund, it offers an attractive opportunity to invest in the global equity market while applying particularly strict criteria with regard to sustainability. Social and environmental exclusion criteria in accordance with the requirements of the Austrian Eco-label for sustainable financial products are used to select the individual stocks in the fund. Only the companies with the best ESG ratings ─ Best in Class ─ are included in the investment universe. "The award from Stiftung Warentest confirms our active management approach, which is based on various, very strict criteria that are monitored by independent bodies," says Harald Holzer, Chief Investment Officer and member of the board of Kathrein Privatbank.
