A global trend over the past few years points to investors seeking out socially

responsible and sustainable companies, in the belief that, in the long run, these

companies will be more apt to face up to economic, social and environmental

threats. Such actions are known as “socially responsible investing” (“SRI”); our

management practices at SF Aquarius reflect this profile; for this reason, the fund

invests, preferentially, in companies included in the ISE – Corporate Sustainability

Index, implemented by BOVESPA. The index is composed of a select group of

companies, highly committed in terms of sustainability and social responsibility.

Consideration is given in the decision-making process to the answers provided by

companies to the annual questionnaire formulated by the CDP – Carbon Disclosure

Project concerning the emission of gases contributing to the greenhouse effect, and

strategies concerning climate change management.
