Zurich and Frankfurt, 28 November 2024. Our two funds, HMTS Equities Value ESG and HMTS Equities Value ESG Small & Mid Caps, were today awarded the prestigious FNG Seal 2025, each with one star.
This is the second time since its launch that HMTS Equities Value ESG, which was launched in June 2023, has received this prestigious recognition. The HMTS Equities Value ESG Small & Mid Caps, which was launched in March 2024, was also honoured and thus received the FNG seal in its first year.
The Forum Nachhaltige Geldanlagen e.V. (FNG) awards the FNG seal to funds that stand out for their above-average performance in the area of ethical and sustainable investments. The award confirms that both funds fulfil strict sustainability criteria and consistently integrate ESG factors (environmental, social and corporate governance) into their investment strategies.
One star stands for above-average fulfilment of the FNG criteria, particularly in the areas of product standards, stock selection and institutional credibility. This award emphasises the funds’ commitment to making a positive contribution to a sustainable future above and beyond the basic requirements.
Today’s award of the FNG label reaffirms the clear commitment of our two ESG funds to responsible investment practices – a reliable choice for investors looking for sustainable and forward-looking investments.
