Solactive iCubed Developed Markets PAB USD Index TR

The Solactive iCubed PAB Index Series aims to track the large- and mid-cap segment of the global developed markets equity universe. The index methodology aligns portfolio greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with the long-term global warming targets of the Paris Climate Agreement, while excluding companies that breach market standards for responsible business conduct or are involved in controversial weapons. These standards are based on established norms, such as the United Nations Global Compact, and exclude companies with significant involvement in defined sectors. The weighting methodology seeks to ensure that the resulting benchmark portfolio achieves minimum improvements in selected sustainability metrics relative to the parent index, subject to defined constraints. The series is designed in compliance with the EU Paris-Aligned Benchmark (EU PAB) regulation, as laid out in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1818 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1011.
