Responsible Investing Driven by ESG Integration
Institutional-Quality Portfolio Management
Diversification in one Convenient Package
Strategic Asset Allocation Targets*
++ Equities
Stocks/shares that represent an ownership stake in a company. Largely used as
vehicles to achieve capital growth.
++ Income
Primarily refers to investment income earned from bonds. These positions tend
to be more conservative than equities, and therefore are better positioned to preserve capital.
++ Thematic Assets
Investment exposure in assets that are related to improving social or
environmental sustainability.
++ Real Assets
Refers to assets that are “hard” or tangible, like real estate and
infrastructure. These types of securities can be beneficial diversifiers as they tend to perform
differently than stocks or bonds.
++ Liquid Alternatives
Investment funds whereby the portfolio manager is afforded considerable
flexibility to utilize certain sophisticated investment tools, often as a way to manage
volatility and/or enhance the level of income earned.
*For Illustrative Purposes Only. The manager aims to invest in
underlying funds that focus
on the above asset groups. Figures represent strategic targets only and may be subject to change over time.
The Sustainable Funds - Diversified,
multi-asset2 ESG
solutions
Each Sustainable Fund applies a high standard of ESG oversight, based upon disciplined
and objective scrutiny from our experienced Responsible Investing team. In practice, this means screening
each underlying fund to ensure its fund manager is a signatory of the United Nations-supported Principles of
Responsible Investment, and to ensure it continuously meets established sustainability thresholds, as
measured by Morningstar® Sustainability Ratings™3. For a more detailed overview, click here to view our Responsible Investing Report.

Guardian's overall
approach to responsible investing.
Guardian Capital LP is a signatory of the United Nations-supported Principles of Responsible Investment (UN PRI). The UN PRI does not prescribe the exclusion of any particular type of company or industry; rather it requires that, as the Manager, we are informed on the ESG issues, and that we are comfortable with the activities and practices of the companies that we invest in. Our Responsible Investing policies are publicly available on our website at https://www.guardiancapital.com/investmentsolutions/responsible-investing/
Responsible investing is an approach to investing that incorporates ESG considerations into investment decisions. This approach may incorporate considerations beyond traditional financial information into the investment selection process, which could result in investment performance deviating from other products with comparable objectives or from broad market benchmarks.
Guardian’s Sustainable Funds and GEM Pools have ESG-related investment objectives, while other Guardian Mutual Funds and ETFs do not have ESG-related investment objectives. All Guardian Funds integrate ESG considerations into the investment analysis of all holdings within their respective portfolio. A Fund’s ESG characteristics and performance may change from time to time. Please review the Fund’s prospectus for details on how the Fund’s investment strategy incorporates responsible investing considerations and the associated risks, and consult your financial professional prior to investing.
