20 Methodology overview 20
21 Deep dive into 21
22 A Fund Portfolio with Only Two Stocks Fund Category: Global Large-Cap Value Equity Retail 100 Oil & Gas SUSTAINALYTICS Overall ESG Score s o Controversy Score
23 Normalization Process of Raw ESG Scores In order to calculate a Sustainability Score for the portfolio we must look at the set of stocks in the two sectors. A simple example below shows what a set could look like (note: in reality the sets are much larger). The Retail sector has a more narrow span and a higher average compared to the Oil & Gas sector. Standard deviation is a measure that explains how much the data points varies from the average. We will see later why this is of importance. ESG-scores Low High Average Std.dev. Retail Oil & Gas
24 Normalization Process of Raw ESG Scores Cont. Oil & Gas Retail Our Oil & Gas company seems to have done better compared to its group peers while the Retail company is not that much better than its peers. So how can we translate this into a portfolio Sustainability Score? 24
25 Normalization Process of Raw ESG Scores Cont. By normalization of the two companies ESG scores they can be compared. The normalization formula looks as follows. ZZ pppppppp = EEEEEE ssssssssss cccccccccccccc μμ pppppppp σσ pppppppp The Z-value calculated explains how many standard deviations from the mean an ESG-score is. The normalization procedure is required otherwise ESG scores from different sectors couldn't be compared. 25
26 Normalization Process of Raw ESG Scores Cont. If we complete the normalization of our two companies we will get the following result: Oil & Gas Retail ZZ pppppppp = ZZ pppppppp = = 11, 5555 =
27 Normalization Process of Raw ESG Scores Cont. With the Z-score the normalized ESG score can be calculated: EEEEEE NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN = 50 + ZZ pppppppp xx 10 Oil & Gas Retail EEEEEE NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN = ,58 xx 10 = 6666, 8888 EEEEEE NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN = ,85 xx 10 = 5555, 5555 By normalization we now can compare these two scores. Initially they had the same score, 70, but the Oil & Gas company seemed to be better than its peers. By normalization this can be interpreted as how much better a company is from its peer group average and by doing so we now can compare them. From this we can conclude that the Oil & Gas company was better in its sector compared to the Retail company. 27
28 A Fund Portfolio with Only Two Stocks Fund Category: Global Large-Cap Value Equity Retail 100 Oil & Gas 100 s 70 o s EEEEEE nnnnnnnn. = 5555, 5555 o 45 EEEEEE nnnnnnnn. = 6666,
29 Controversy Scores We now have the normalized ESG scores and the last step is to deduct for the controversies for the companies. The amount deducted for controversies is presented in the table below. Remember Controversies for the stocks: Oil & Gas= 5 Retail = 2 Controversy Deduction from Normalized ESG Score No evidence of controversy 0 29
30 Sustainability Score With the normalized ESG score and the table for controversy deduction, each stocks individual Sustainability score can be calculated: SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSS iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii = EEEEEE NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC Oil & Gas Retail SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSS iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii = 65,85 20 = 4444, 8888 SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSS iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii = 58,55 4 = 5555, 5555 In comparison with the normalized ESG score the Sustainability score is lower after the deduction of controversies. Note: The controversies could, as in this example, have a significant impact on the Sustainability score. 30
31 How to Aggregate a Portfolio Sustainability Score All the necessary data to calculate the aggregated portfolio Sustainability score are now available We assume here that the investment is 50/50 in the two stocks Oil & Gas Retail SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSS iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii = 4455, 8888 SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSS iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii = 5544, 5555 PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSS = SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSS ssssssssss xx WWWWWWWWWWW ssssssssss PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSS = 45,85 xx 0, ,55 xx 0,50 = 5555,
32 A Fund Portfolio with Only Two Stocks Fund Category: Global Large-Cap Value Equity Retail 100 Oil & Gas 100 s 70 o s Sustainability Score: 54,55 45 o 45,85 :Sustainability Score Morningstar Sustainability Score for the fund: 50,2
33 Funds Within the Category: Global Large-Cap Value Equity The Sustainability score is now calculated and the only thing left to do is to compare the fund with its peers in the category. In the table below the funds in the category are listed in descending order. Sustainability Scores for funds in the category Global Large-Cap Value Equity Our Fund Funds Funds Funds Funds
34 Funds Within the Category: Global Large-Cap Value Equity Below we can see the span of the peer group s Sustainability Scores, which is populated from the table on previous slide. Span of Sustainability scores within the fund category 40% 35% 30% Sustainability Score for our example fund % 20% % 10% % 0% Bottom 10 % 22.5 % 35 % 22.5 % Top 10 % As we can see our fund is in the lower half of the peer group. 34
35 Morningstar Sustainability Scores and Rating The Morningstar Sustainability Rating will be visually presented with symbols. The symbols will be globes as seen below. Thus our example fund would receive two globes. However if the underlying stocks in the fund had 0 in Controversy Score, the funds Sustainability Score would have been 62.2 and thus resulted in five globes. Sustainability Score for our example fund 50.2 Sustainability Score with zero Controversy
