Fund Provider Response

Mint’s Diversified Alternatives Fund is comprised only of indirect investments and does not apply any Responsible Investment strategy (i.e. ESG integration, stewardship, or exclusions). We perform an ESG assessment on the external managers we appoint within the fund, but the results do not impact on the managers we ultimately choose as there are a limited number of these to choose from to give the Fund the best chance of meeting its objectives. The benefits the Fund gains by being exposed to alternative asset classes outweighs any risk we take on by not applying a Responsible Investment Strategy.

  • About this fund

    About this Fund

    The objective of the Fund is to provide access to alternative asset classes which have a low correlation to traditional assets (equities and fixed-interest securities). These alternative asset classes can include but are not limited to private equity, real estate, renewable energy, infrastructure, commodities and hedge fund strategies. The Fund aims to provide capital growth through returns in excess of the benchmark HFRI Fund of Funds Composite Index (NZD Hedged), after fees and expenses, over the medium to long term.

    This information has been sourced from the quarterly data that each fund has filed with Disclose register to 31st Dec. 2024.

This data is compiled by Mindful Money from the fund information and portfolios that each fund has filed with the Disclose register to 30th Sept. 2024 and Mindful Money analysis of funds within those portfolios. The list of companies of concern has been drawn from ratings agencies and public sources, including the Norwegian Sovereign Fund, NZ Super Fund, Sustainalytics and research organisations.

The listing of companies of concern is based on definitions used in Mindful Money's methodology. These definitions may be different from the exclusions policy and definitions applied by the fund provider.
