With the «Baloise Fund Invest (CH) - Equity Switzerland Corporate Governance passive» Baloise offers a passively managed Swiss equity fund since December 2022, that reduces the weighting of those companies in the Swiss Performance Index (SPI) that have governance risks, high CO2 risks and/or serious ESG controversies.
By passively tracking a recognized index, the Ethos Swiss Corporate Governance Index (ESCGI), which focuses on the two core areas of environment and governance, the fund aims to outweigh companies in the portfolio that follow best practices in terms of governance and climate strategy.
