Historical Sustainability Score as of 11/30/2020. Sustainability Rating as of 11/30/2020. Sustainalytics provides company-level analysis used in the calculation of Morningstar's Historical Sustainability Score. ©2020 Morningstar. All rights reserved.

Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information. The Morningstar® Sustainability Rating is intended to measure how well the issuing companies of securities within a fund's portfolio are managing their environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") risks and opportunities relative to the fund's Morningstar category peers. The Morningstar Sustainability Rating calculation is a three-step process. First, each fund with at least 67% of assets covered by a company level ESG score from Sustainalytics receives a Morningstar® Portfolio Sustainability Score, an asset weighted-average of normalized company level ESG scores with deductions made for controversial incidents by issuing companies, such as environmental accidents, fraud, or discriminatory behavior. Second, the Portfolio Sustainability Score is rescaled to reflect an exponential weighted moving average of scores over the past 12 months. Third, the Morningstar Sustainability Rating is then assigned to all scored funds within Morningstar Categories in which at least 30 funds received a Portfolio Sustainability Score and is determined by each fund's rank: High (highest 10%); Above Average (next 22.5%); Average (next 35%); Below Average (next 22.5%); Low (lowest 10%). The Morningstar Sustainability Rating is depicted by globe icons where High equals 5 globes and Low equals 1 globe. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
