Material Changes + ESG: abrdn has deemed it appropriate to increase its minimum Sustainable Investments ratio for its Article 8 Funds, to ensure that they are (1) more representative of actual minimum Sustainable Investment ratios, (2) as closely aligned as possible with similar ESG/sustainable investing approaches, and (3) appropriately positioned for anticipated ESG regulatory developments. These increases have been facilitated in part by increased availability of ESG data.
