GAMA FUNDS - GLOBAL SHORT-DATED OPPORTUNITIES
Fund Portrait
GAMA Funds - Global Short-Dated Opportunities is an actively managed short-term bond fund for investors seeking a return higher than that of money market funds over a time horizon of one year or more. Its objective is to generate income and capital appreciation with a realized volatility of less than 3% by investing principally in global debt securities with a maturity of less than 3 years.
The fund's main source of return is its credit exposure. Interest rate exposure is kept low and currency exposures are fully hedged. The fund managers follow a rigorous investment process that combines in-depth fundamental analysis with reliable quantitative models to exploit existing opportunities at the short end of the global corporate bond universe. Relevant ESG considerations are integrated into the investment process.

Intro GAMA
GAMA's approach to ESG on three pillars:
- Exclusion: GAMA avoids investing in companies that do not meet fundamental responsibilities or are involved in controversial activities like nonconventional weapons, tobacco, unconventional fossil fuels, adult entertainment, and gambling.
- Integration: GAMA systematically incorporates ESG factors into their investment analysis, focusing on environmental issues (like carbon emissions and water use), social issues (such as human rights and labor practices), and governance factors (including corporate governance and political stability).
- Engagement: GAMA actively engages with companies to promote better environmental and social practices and encourages transparent disclosure of ESG-related information. They collaborate with other investors through memberships in organizations like the Institutional Investor Group on Climate Change and the UN PRI.
Additionally, GAMA benefits from an independent ESG Advisory Board, produces monthly ESG reports, and ensures all investment staff obtain ESG certification. They also embed ESG principles into corporate policies and strive to minimize their carbon footprint.
GAMA adheres to SFDR Article 8.
