Protecting the Earth's Better Future ICBC Credit Suisse Fund strives to write a big article on "green finance".

On April 22, 2024, the 55th "World Earth Day" with the theme of "Cherish the Earth, Harmonious Coexistence between Man and Nature" arrived, once again arousing the public's attention to environmental protection. Under the call of the dual carbon goal and a community with a shared future for mankind, sustainable development has become a must-answer question for the future.

As an active practitioner and leader in the field of green finance, ICBC Credit Suisse Fund integrates the concept of green development into product layout and investment research, actively practices social responsibility, and strives to write major articles on green finance, adding green impetus to sustainable development.

Integrate green development into product innovation and enrich the layout of ESG products

In October 2023, the Central Financial Work Conference pointed out that it is necessary to "do a good job in five major articles: science and technology finance, green finance, inclusive finance, pension finance, and digital finance". Doing a good job in green finance is of great significance for promoting high-quality economic and social development. Since its establishment, ICBC Credit Suisse Fund has always practiced the concept of green development, actively researched and explored the ESG evaluation system with Chinese characteristics around the national strategic goal of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality", continuously enriched the product layout of green economy-related theme funds, strengthened the selection and investment support of high-quality targets, and actively contributed to the green development of the economy.

As of December 31, 2023, ICBC Credit Suisse Fund has issued more than 10 public equity-themed ESG-themed funds with investment directions such as ICBC New Materials New Energy Stocks and ICBC Ecological Environment Stocks, etc., building a relatively complete ESG-themed product series.

Actively embrace sustainable development, and the long-distance running ability of green products is outstanding

With the "countdown" of mandatory ESG disclosure in China, the domestic ESG investment ecology is gradually improving, and the capital market is paying more and more attention to the ESG investment concept, and "green content" has become one of the criteria that investment institutions are paying more and more attention to. "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", this sentence has also been practiced in ICBC Credit Suisse's green investment.

In the new energy track, ICBC Credit Suisse's related products have demonstrated outstanding long-distance running capabilities. As of the end of March 2024, according to data from Galaxy Securities, ICBC New Materials and New Energy stocks ranked first among similar products in the past year and the past two years. According to the company's 2024 first quarter report, its net value growth rate in the past five years is 92.99%, significantly outperforming the performance benchmark rate of return (31.62%) by 61.37%.

In the field of low-carbon environmental protection, ICBC Credit Suisse's products have significant excess returns. Among them, ICBC Ecological Environment Stock A, which was established in June 2015, has performed well in terms of performance and similar rankings. According to the fund's regular report, as of March 31, 2024, the net value growth rate of ICBC Ecological Environment Stock A in the past five years was 134.14% and 55.70% since its establishment, outperforming the benchmark rate of return (12.22% and -36.38%) by 121.92% and 92.08% respectively. According to data from Galaxy Securities, as of March 29, 2024, the fund's performance in the past three years ranked second in the same category and first in the past five years.
