About this fund
Candriam Sustainable Money Market Euro (hereafter "the fund"), a sub-fund of the Candriam Sustainable sicav, aims to offer returns in line with money market rates or preserving the value of the investment. The aim of the fund is to enable shareholders to manage their cash flow in the short-term and so to enable them to benefit from a moderate return while investing, in the currency of the fund, with minimal risks and to outperform the benchmark. The fund’s sustainable investment objective is to contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through specific targets as well as the integration of climate related indicators in issuer and securities analysis. The fund also aims to have long-term positive impact on environment and social objectives. The fund is intended for investors who seek to manage their cash flow in the short term with minimal risks, and who are aware of, understand and be able to bear the specific risks of the fund. The investment horizon is 3 months. The fund is actively managed and the investment process implies referring to a benchmark index. For further information on the risks or the benchmark and its use, please consult the fund’s key information document (KID).
Principal assets traded:
Money market instruments denominated in euro and/or in currencies of countries members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and issued by all types of issuers rated at least A2/P2 (or equivalent) by one of the rating agencies (i.e. reputedly good quality issuers).
Bonds denominated in euro and/or in currencies of countries members of the OECD with a maximum residual maturity of less than 397 days or with an interest rate which is at least revised annually and issued by any type of issuers of the same quality.
Deposits.
Investment strategy:
The fund seeks to achieve capital growth, associated with a low risk level, by investing in the principal assets traded, and to outperform the benchmark.
The management team makes discretionary investment choices on the basis of an economic/financial analysis process as well as on a Candriam’s proprietary analysis of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations, both indicative of risks and long-term opportunities.
The duration (Weighted Average Maturity - WAM), i.e. the sensitivity of funds to changes in interest rates, will not exceed 6 months and the weighted average life of funds (Weighted Average Life - WAL) will not exceed 12 months.The fund’s sustainable investment objective is to contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through specific targets as well as the integration of climate related indicators in issuer and securities analysis. The fund also aims to have long-term positive impact on environment and social objectives. More specifically the fund aims to have a carbon footprint below a determined absolute threshold (for corporate issuers). This threshold has been set at around 30% lower than the investment universe and it can be reviewed depending on the evolution of the investment universe. In addition, corporate and sovereign issuers are assessed based on a proprietary ESG analysis and assigned a score, with the aim of keeping the average weighted ESG score of the fund's portfolio above a predetermined threshold.
To achieve these objectives the fund implements a combination of positive selection of the best issuers based on ESG criteria, exclusion of issuers detrimental to these objectives or deemed to prone to controversies.
Issuers are subject to a two-pronged analysis considering how issuers activities contribute to achieving sustainable objectives on the one hand, and how issuers’ operations and policies align with the interests of their key stakeholders on the other hand.
The result of this analysis forms the basis to define the investable universe and guide fund managers in their portfolio construction. Whenever the fund invests in securities issued by sovereign issuers, these issuers are also selected based on their ESG ranking assessed through a proprietary analysis of their human, social, natural and economic capital management.
This analysis is enriched by the results of dialogs led with issuers.
This investment approach will cause the fund to avoid certain issuers due to their poor ESG quality or contribution to attaining sustainability objectives. Whilst the manager believes that such issuers are likely to lose out to more sustainable ones over the long term, market volatility and short term market trends could result in such issuers outperforming more sustainable ones over shorter periods.
The fund has not filed for the French SRI Label.
For further information, please refer to Candriam’s website and/or the prospectus.
The fund may also use derivative products for hedging purposes (taking protection against unfavourable future financial events).
Benchmark: €STR (Euro Short Term Rate) Capitalized.
The fund is actively managed and the investment approach implies a reference to a benchmark.
Benchmark definition: €STR reflects the wholesale euro unsecured overnight borrowing costs of banks located in the euro area.
Use of the benchmark:
- for performance comparison.
- for performance fees calculation for certain share classes if applicable.

Historical values graph
Candriam Sustainable Money Market Euro I - Cap - EUR
This graph represents the synthetic net asset value of the fund. It is provided for information and illustrative purposes only. The synthetic net asset value is obtained by a recalculation of the values of the fund’s assets by leveling out the effect of securities transactions (split, coupon, dividend distribution...) in order to reflect the real performance of the fund share or unit. Data may be rounded for convenience. Data expressed in a currency other than that of the investor's country of residence is subject to exchange rate fluctuations, with a positive or negative impact. Gross performance may be impacted by commissions, fees and other expenses.
Annual return over the last years (%)
This chart shows the fund’s performance as the percentage loss or gain per year over the last 10 years.
It can help you to assess how the fund has been managed in the past and compare it to its benchmark.
The index composition may change over time. The performance reported may therefore differ from the performance of the relevant index before its change. Performance is shown after deduction of ongoing charges. Any entry and exit charges are excluded from the calculation. Performances expressed in a currency other than that of the investor's country of residence are subject to exchange rate fluctuations, with a negative or positive impact on gains. If the present document refers to a specific tax treatment, such information depends on the individual situation of each investor and may change. If for one year, there is no performance information, it is because there is no data or the data is insufficient to provide investors with useful or reliable indications on this performance.
The performances of the years prior to the material change have been blurred on the graph.
As of 15/10/2021, the index used as a benchmark, Eonia Capi 7d, has been replaced by €STR (Euro Short Term Rate) Capitalized.

Additional information
The returns listed above are provided on the basis of the Net Asset Value (NAV), net of commissions and reinvested income. All management fees and commissions are included in the calculation of past performance except for any entry and exit charges. Taxes are not included in the calculation of returns. The value or price converted into euros may be reduced or increased depending on fluctuations in the exchange rate. The fund is not a guaranteed investment. The NAVs are net of fees and are provided by the accounting department and the benchmark by the official providers.
Market developments (currency conversion, coupon, split, …) have an influence on the chart.

- Swing Pricing Description
-
Swing Pricing is a mechanism by which the net asset value is adjusted upwards (or downwards) if the change in liabilities is positive (or negative) in such a way as to reduce for existing investors the portfolio restructuring costs linked to subscription/ redemption movements in the fund. On valuation days where the difference between the amount of subscriptions and the amount of redemptions of a sub-fund (i.e. net transactions) exceeds a threshold set beforehand by the Board of Directors, the latter shall be entitled to:
- value the net asset value by adding to the assets (in the case of net subscriptions) or deducting from assets (at net redemptions) a fixed percentage of the fees corresponding to market practices and reflecting the fees and/or conditions of liquidity when buying or selling securities; - value the securities portfolio on the basis of bid or ask prices;
- assess the net asset value by setting a level of spreads representative of the relevant market;
- The dilution mechanism must not exceed 2% of the net asset value, except in exceptional circumstances, as in the event of a sharp decrease in liquidity, which would then be detailed for the sub-fund concerned in the annual (semi-) annual report of the SICAV.

- Definition
-
The summary risk indicator ("SRI") is an indicator with a rating ranging from 1 to 7 and corresponds to increasing levels of risk and return. The methodology for calculating this regulatory indicator is available in the KID.
The summary risk indicator ("SRI") is a guide to the level of risk of this product compared to other products.
It shows how likely it is that the product will lose money because of movements in the markets or because we are not able to pay you. - Main Risks
-
Counterparty Risk: When the fund carry out over-the-counter transactions (i.e. involving instruments not listed on the markets), they are exposed to a risk of default by the counterparty to the transaction.
Credit risk: It constitutes the risk that an issuer or a counterparty default. This risk includes the risk of changes in credit spreads and default risk. The level of credit risk is usually evaluated by using “ratings” representing a comparative assessment of the credit quality (solvency level) of an issuer, issuer or portfolio. “High Yield” investments present the lowest rating levels and therefore a high credit risk.
ESG Investment Risk: ESG investment risk refers to the risks arising from the inclusion of ESG factors in the management process, such as the exclusion of activities or issuers and the inclusion of sustainability risks in the selection and/or allocation of issuers in the portfolio.
- Other Risks
-
Conservation riskThe insolvency, negligence or fraudulent acts of a custodian or a sub-custodian may result in the loss of assets. This risk is mitigated by the regulatory obligations of the depositaries.Delivery riskIn case of liquidation of assets that are subject to a transaction with a counterparty, this last, although contractually obliged, may not be able in operational terms to return the assets quickly enough to allow the fund to honour the sale of these instruments on the market..Derivative riskDerivatives are investments whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying instrument, such as a security, asset, reference rate or index. Derivative strategies often involve leverage, which may exaggerate a loss, potentially causing the Sub-Fund to lose more money than it would have lost had it invested in the underlying instrument. Using derivatives may result in a higher portfolio volatility related to this underlying asset and an increase of the counterparty risk.Interest rate riskA change in interest rates, resulting notably from inflation, may cause a risk of losses and reduce the net asset value of the fund.Legal riskLitigations of all kinds can occur with a counterparty or a third party. The Management Company aims to reduce these risks by putting in place controls and procedures.Liquidity risklt occurs when a portfolio position cannot be sold, liquidated or closed at a limited cost and within a sufficiently short time, which jeopardizing the fund's ability to comply at any time with its obligations to redeem the shares of investors at their request.Operational riskOperational risk encompasses the risks of direct or indirect loss related to a number of factors (eg human errors, fraud and malicious acts, information system failures and external events, etc.) that could have an impact on the fund and / or the investors. The Management Company aims to reduce this risk through the implementation of controls and procedures.Risk of conflict of interestThe selection of a counterparty based on reasons other than the sole interest of the fund and/or unequal treatment in the management of similar portfolios can result in conflicts of interest.Risk of loss of capitalInvestors are advised that any capital they invest is not guaranteed and that they may therefore not receive back the full amount invested. They may thus suffer a loss.Sustainability RiskThe sustainability risk refers to any environmental, social or governance event or condition that could affect the performance and / or the reputation of issuers in the portfolio. It may be issuer specific, in line with their activities and practices, but may also be due to external factors.
Risk and reward indicators
-
Fund
-
Beta
Beta measures the sensitivity of fund returns to changes in returns of its reference index. A beta greater than 1 indicates the fund is more volatile, thus more risky than the reference index.
-
1.03
-
Information ratio
The information ratio is the ratio of a portfolio’s “active” return to its benchmark to the volatility of the active return (also known as “active risk”).
-
-1.79
-
Sharpe Ratio
The Sharpe Ratio measures the level of compensation an investment in the fund offered for the risk taken. It is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate from the return of the fund and dividing that result by the volatility. The higher the Sharpe ratio the better, a negative ratio has no significance other than that the fund underperformed the risk-free rate. This indicator is based on weekly data over 3 Years (1 year if too little history).
-
-0.18
-
Tracking error
The Tracking Error is a statistical measure of dispersion of the excess returns of the fund around the mean, making it the volatility of the difference between the fund's return and its reference index return. A higher tracking error indicates a higher deviation from the reference index. This indicator is based on weekly data over 3 Years (1 year if too little history).
-
0.04 %
-
Volatility
The Volatility is the statistical measure of dispersion of returns for a fund around the mean. A higher volatility means that a fund's value can potentially be spread out over a larger range of values and makes the fund a riskier investment. This indicator is based on weekly data over 3 Years (1 year if too little history).
-
0.27 %
-
Yield to Worst
The Yield To Worst (YTW) is the lowest potential yield that can be received on all fixed income instruments in a fund without the issuers actually defaulting. It represents the lowest of all yields computed at each call date for callable bonds. The YTW for the fund is calculated as the weighted average YTW of all underlying fixed income instruments.

SFDR Category: Article 9
OUR APPROACH TO SELECTING SUSTAINABLE INVESTMENTS FOR FUNDS REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 9 OF THE SFDR*:
This fund has a sustainable investment objective. It invests in economic activities contributing to an environmental and/or social objective. To achieve this objective, the management team makes discretionary investment choices based on an economic/financial analysis process and an internal analysis of environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria.
a. ESG selection criteria:
For corporates, the internal analysis of ESG criteria consists in selecting the issuers:
• that are the best positioned to meet the challenges of sustainable development;
• that comply with the principles of the United Nations Global Compact (i.e. human rights, labour law, the environment, anti-corruption), and which are therefore less exposed to the risks associated with these themes; and
• that are not engaged in controversial activities such as armament (securities of a company whose activity consists of manufacturing, the use or possession of anti-personnel mines, cluster bombs and/or depleted uranium weapons), tobacco, thermal coal.
For sovereign issuers, the internal analysis of ESG criteria consists in selecting:
• Countries that perform best across our four categories of sustainable development criteria: Human Capital, Natural Capital, Social Capital and Economic Capital;
• Countries that are not part of our highly Oppressive Regimes or dictatorships, based on the Freedom House Freedom in the World Index and the World Bank Voice & Accountability Index.
b. Selection methodology:
The companies selected by the management company are subject to a dual analysis:
• Analysis of their activity to assess their alignment with the major challenges of sustainable development. For example, regarding the transition to a circular economy, the management company will consider a company producing recycled steel to be more sustainable than a company producing steel exclusively from iron ore; and
• Analysis of how the company manages players interacting with the company: its employees, its customers, its shareholders, its suppliers and the environment. Here too, the management company will favour companies that adopt the most sustainable practices given their sector. For example, with regard to relations with its clients, the management company will favour pharmaceutical companies with balanced pricing practices and commercial policies. Similarly, with regard to relations with their employees, the management company attaches great importance to the fight against discrimination and compliance with social standards.
Our sovereign investible universe consists of those countries which perform best across our four categories of sustainable development criteria:
• Natural Capital: stock of naturel resources managed by the country;
• Social Capital: trust, norms and institutions which people can rely on to solve common problems and create social cohesion;
• Human Capital: human productivity to which the country participates through education and other initiatives;
• Economic Capital: assessing the level of economic activity viability.
c. A team of ESG analysts is responsible for assessing the selection criteria:
The analysis and selection of sustainable investments is carried out by a dedicated team of ESG analysts within Candriam. This team is made up of specialists whose mission is to analyse the exposure of companies and governments to the risks and opportunities associated with sustainable development. Selection criteria are expected to evolve over time, based on advances in ESG research and changes in company practices.
