Description

The Vanguard ActiveLife Climate Aware 80-90% Equity Accumulation fund is an actively managed investment fund aiming to provide long-term capital growth and some income over more than five years. The fund primarily invests in a combination of company shares, constituting 80-90% of its assets, and bonds, making up 10-20% of its assets, which include those issued by companies and non-corporate entities such as governments. A key aspect of its investment strategy is climate considerations, with at least 70% of the fund's assets meeting specific environmental criteria, such as investing in companies with lower carbon intensity or active emissions reduction targets, and sovereign bonds from countries with lower carbon intensity. The fund operates globally, with the majority of its investments in developed countries, and is managed by Wellington Management Company. It targets investors seeking to invest for the medium to long term and who are comfortable with a moderate level of risk, with income being reinvested into the fund.
