Benchmark ESG Fund Ratings Methodology:

A set of rule-based methodology can be substantiated by the individual inputs promoting objectivity, greater transparency, and heightened understanding of a company's sustainability performance. BENCHMARK ESG methodology considers the principle of financial materiality, and the feature layer aggregate thousands of inputs along well-defined topics:

Environmental: 7 Feature Scores with 68 Topic Groups

Social: 10 Feature Scores with 111 Topic Groups

Governance: 5 Feature Scores with 72 Topic Groups

The A to C ratings are assigned based on the fund level ESG performance derived from the underlying companies' ESG performance. The portfolio must have 65% or more of the fund's gross weight with ESG scoring provided at the company level before a fund level score can be calculated. Cash and short positions are not included in the fund's gross weight calculation. The Fixed income issuers must also be a company under the BENCHMARK coverage.

Benchmark GC Fund Ratings Methodology:

The Global Compact (GC) Score provides a normative assessment of companies based on the four core principles of the United Nations Global Compact (GC): human rights, labor rights, the environment and anti-corruption. With more than 9,000 corporate signatories from over 160 countries, the Global Compact is the world's largest corporate. This provides a deeper understanding of reputational risk facing a company. A distinction is made between features that focus more on negative aspects and features that are more positive in nature, with the former taking precedence in case of poor performance to avoid compensation.

Human Rights: Human Rights, Labor Rights, Occupational Health and Safety, Employment Quality, Diversity; Product Quality and Safety, Product Access, Community Relations

Labor Rights: Labor Rights, Occupational Health and Safety, Diversity, Compensation, Training and  Development, Employment Quality

Environment: Emissions, Waste, Environmental Stewardship, Environmental Management, Resource Use, Water, Environmental Solutions

Anti-Corruption: Business Ethics, Corporate Governance, Transparency

The A to C ratings are assigned based on the fund level ESG performance derived from the underlying companies' GC performance. The portfolio must have 65% or more of the fund's gross weight with GC scoring provided at the company level before a fund level score can be calculated. Cash and short positions are not included in the fund's gross weight calculation. The Fixed income issuers must also be a company under the BENCHMARK coverage.
