FundGrade A+® is used with permission from Fundata Canada Inc., all rights reserved. The annual FundGrade A+® Awards are presented by Fundata Canada Inc. to recognize the “best of the best” among Canadian investment funds. The FundGrade A+® calculation is supplemental to the monthly FundGrade ratings and is calculated at the end of each calendar year. The FundGrade rating system evaluates funds based on their risk-adjusted performance, measured by Sharpe Ratio, Sortino Ratio, and Information Ratio. The score for each ratio is calculated individually, covering all time periods from 2 to 10 years. The scores are then weighted equally in calculating a monthly FundGrade. The top 10% of funds earn an A Grade; the next 20% of funds earn a B Grade; the next 40% of funds earn a C Grade; the next 20% of funds receive a D Grade; and the lowest 10% of funds receive an E Grade. To be eligible, a fund must have received a FundGrade rating every month in the previous year. The FundGrade A+® uses a GPA-style calculation, where each monthly FundGrade from “A” to “E” receives a score from 4 to 0, respectively. A fund’s average score for the year determines its GPA. Any fund with a GPA of 3.5 or greater is awarded a FundGrade A+® Award. For more information, see www.FundGradeAwards.com. Although Fundata makes every effort to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data contained herein, the accuracy is not guaranteed by Fundata.

Financed Emissions are greenhouse gas emissions associated with financing, investing and lending activities. Financial institutions measure their Financed Emissions by taking ownership of the issuer’s emissions in order to manage risk and identify opportunities associated with greenhouse gas emissions.

The methodology used follows the standards of the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF), a global partnership of financial institutions that is setting a standard for greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting and reporting in the financial sector. GHG emissions can be direct or indirect, and are distinguished according to their source over 3 different scopes:
  • Scope 1: the organization's direct emissions or those under its control (e.g. emissions linked to its industrial processes).
  • Scope 2: indirect emissions from the production of purchased or acquired electricity.
  • Scope 3: indirect emissions occurring in the company's value chain, both upstream of the production of the material/product/service and downstream during the distribution, storage or use of the material/product/service. Scope 3 integration is being progressively made according to the PCAF methodology.

The estimated result on September 30, 2023 represents the change in the ETF's financed emissions relative to the financed emissions of its appropriate security universe in the base year which is 2020. Total emissions financed are the sum of emissions financed by each company in the portfolio. A company's financed emissions are the product of its allocation factor and the annual emissions declared by the company. The allocation factor is obtained by calculating the ratio between the value of the units held by the ETF and the value of the company financed. The value of the units held by the ETF is defined on the basis of the market value for listed shares or the book value of the debt for bonds. The company value ("EVIC") is the sum of the market capitalization of common and preferred shares at the end of the last fiscal year, the book value of total debt, minority interests and cash.

Reported emissions are collected via the MSCI data provider. If data is not available, the sector average intensity is used. This is the average intensity per Canadian EVIC dollar by GICS sub-sector, calculated from the emissions data available in the MSCI ACWI IMI index. Company values are obtained from Bloomberg. If data are not available, MSCI is used.

No representations or warranties, express or implied, are made by Desjardins in connection with the exactitude, quality or completeness of such information and data. Should these differ from official carbon intensity data, the latter will prevail.

Growth of $10,000 chart invested in the indicated Desjardins ETF, is used only to illustrate the effects of the compound growth rate and is not intended to reflect or to present future values of the investment fund or returns on investment in the investment fund.

As at June 30, 2024

On September 15, 2023, the ETF’s investment objectives were amended. As a result, the objectives now provide for a gradual reduction of the portfolio’s financed emissions and enhanced management of the active risk.
