Market situation

Allocation of the funds designated as sustainable on the swiss market

 

The designation ‘sustainability funds ‘ is used on the one hand by the emitting institutes, on the other hand by the market (media, investor, Analysten among other things.). All funds which consider either only the ecological or the social dimensions are often called sustainable by the market. However only the funds which consider all three dimensions are usually called sustainable by the emitting societies. Funds which (apart from the economic dimension) only pursue the ecological or the social dimension, are usually called Eco-Funds or Socially responsible funds by the institutes. 

During the classification of the funds certified in Switzerland, it showed up that all can be assigned to one or the other level of the standard. Even the highest level has been reached several times. In connection with the form of the sustainability it can be said that the static and the dynamic form are nearly equivalently often represented.

The aim of this classification is to give to the investor the possibility to find the fund that follows the philosophy that matched best the one he does.
