From the Effective Date, the investment manager responsible for the management of the funds will increase the minimum proportion that each fund commits to holding sustainable investments, as further detailed in the SFDR RTS Annexes. For some of the funds, this will be the first time such a commitment is being made. The funds will continue to be categorised as Article 8 under SFDR.

For CT (Lux) Global Smaller Companies, additional changes are also being made to highlight Columbia Threadneedle’s commitment to the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative (NZAMI), which will now include this fund.
