radicant launches three EU SFDR “dark green” funds
The objective of the funds is to invest in a broadly diversified portfolio of companies and issuers with a global orientation and Swiss companies respectively. The companies and issuers that are part of the portfolios have been analysed and selected using radicant’s unique sustainability analysis. Only companies that make a positive overall contribution to the SDGs are considered for selection.
“We want to enable people who want to make their lifestyle more sustainable to also invest in sustainable investment solutions,” says Jan Poser, Chief Sustainable Investment Officer and Co-Founder radicant bank ag. “Our funds offer the opportunity to align one’s own investment strategy with the UN’s 17 SDGs.”
“Dark Green” funds as unique selling point
All three radicant SDG Impact Solutions funds are classified as Article 9 “Dark Green” funds under the EU SFDR. Currently, only about 4% of all funds authorised for distribution in the entire European Economic Area meet this “Dark Green” classification. The classification requires that the respective funds must pursue a positive environmental, social and/or corporate governance impact. For the bond fund, an additional focus on green and sustainable certified bonds applies to promote dedicated sustainability objectives, such as the transition to a CO2-neutral economy.
Using a multi-stage investment process based on a multi-factor model with around 50 historical return drivers, radicant can offer broadly diversified equity and bond portfolios with a focus on financial quality. Here is an overview of the three investment funds that radicant has launched as asset manager together with LGT Fund Management Company Ltd (management company):

On the meaning of «radicant»
