Investment Case Why LIFE?

Our planet is under threat like never before. Temperatures are rising, rainfall patterns are shifting and sea ice cover is retreating. Oceans are acidifying, soils are degrading and droughts and floods are now commonplace. Exploitation and degradation of Earth’s remaining resources, habitats and biodiversity continues. In The Vocation of Man, Johann Gottlieb Fichte wrote “you could not remove a single grain of sand from its place without thereby… changing something through all parts of the immeasurable whole”. He was talking about the butterfly effect – the sensitive dependence that small change can have broad, non-linear implications on a complex system. Our planet is such a complex system. And our persistent assault on both its health and vitality has started to alter its very fundamentals. Microplastics have been found in Antarctic ice for the first time. Canada’s last intact ice shelf has collapsed. Unprecedented wildfires – from the Arctic to the Amazon, Africa and Australia – have killed billions of animals and wiped-out mass areas of forest. We have lost our balance with nature. And so – how do we restore it? How do we create a future in which both people and nature can thrive? Our first-of-its-kind investment strategy and ETF – Europe’s first environmental impact ETF – provides investors with exposure to the 100 most innovative and impactful companies that are tackling the world’s most pressing climatic and environmental challenges. Companies across clean water, EVs, renewables and hydrogen, energy efficiency, waste and the circular economy and nature-based solutions that hold the promise of a greener future.

We can make nature our ally. We can look to restore the rich and diverse world we inherited.

• Favourable Growth Prospects LIFE is Europe’s first environmental impact ETF, and provides investors with exposure to the top 100 companies that are developing and applying innovative and impactful solutions in clean water, EVs, renewables and hydrogen, energy efficiency, waste and the circular economy and nature-based solutions.

• Powered by Sustainable Market Strategies® LIFE is purpose-built in collaboration with Sustainable Market Strategies, an independent ESG intelligence firm based in Montreal, Canada, and leverages their unique insights and proprietary classification system of companies that is aligned with the environmental objectives set out in the EU Taxonomy for Sustainable Activities.

• Unconstrained Approach LIFE’s composition transcends classic sector, size and geographic classifications by tracking an emerging theme.

• ETF Efficiency In a single trade, LIFE delivers access to the top 100 companies that are favourably positioned to ride the tailwinds of the environmental impact theme.

What Happens If We Do Nothing?Science predicts that a person born today would witness the following…

Source: David Attenborough’s “A Life on Our Planet” 2020

The Amazon rainforest, cut down until it can no longer produce enough moisture, degrades into a dry savannah, bringing catastrophic species loss, and altering the global water cycle

At the same time, the Arctic becomes ice free in the summer

Without the white ice cap, less of the sun’s energy is reflected back into outer space, and the speed of global warming increases

2030’S

Throughout the north, frozen soils thaw, releasing methane, a greenhouse gas many times more potent than carbon dioxide, accelerating the rate of climate change dramatically

2040’S

As the ocean continues to heat and becomes more acidic, coral reefs around the world die

Fish populations crash

2050’S

2060’S

2070’S

Global food production enters a crisis as soils become exhausted by overuse

Pollinating insects disappear, and the weather is more and more unpredictable

2080’S

2090’S

Our planet becomes 4 ºC warmer, large parts of the earth are inhabitable

Millions of people are rendered homeless

A sixth mass extinction event is well underway. This is a series of one-way doors.

Within the span of the next lifetime, the security and stability of the Holocene, will be lost

2100’S

What Are the Environmental Challenges of Our Time?Climate change is undoubtedly one of the biggest challenges of our time. Rising global temperatures and sea levels, melting glaciers, shifting rainfall patterns, more frequent floods and wildfires as well as other adverse effects of greenhouse gas emissions are challenging the biological support systems of our planet. Yet, climate change is not the only challenge of our time. Natural resource depletion and other consequences of environmental degradation, including desertification, drought, land infertility, soil erosion, freshwater scarcity and the continued destruction of our habitats and biodiversity further exacerbate the list of challenges we face.

How Do We Tackle These Challenges?We must tackle our climatic and environmental challenges using the most innovative and impactful technologies and solutions that we have. Steering capital towards industries and sectors that can help decarbonise our planet is a critical first step.

We must green our transport Readily available solutions exist for more than 70% of today’s emissions. Investing in EVs and other future mobility solutions can help move the needle in transport, and backing green hydrogen technologies can help reduce emissions from hard-to-electrify sectors such as heavy manufacturing, especially steel and cement. 1

We must electrify our energy Within 20 years, renewables are predicted to be the world’s main source of power. By making meaningful investments today, we can make it the only source. 1

We must build sustainable cities The megacities of tomorrow will be clean and energy efficient, with more green spaces, more environmentally friendly buildings and more sustainable transport. Achieving ‘Net Zero’ requires backing ‘systemic efficiency’ technologies like clean electrification, smart digitisation and efficient infrastructure, and creating new approaches to waste and materials management. 2

We must preserve our freshwater Responsible management of our finite hydrological resources is needed if we want to ensure human, plant and animal health. It is also needed if we want to protect our marine life and safeguard the biodiversity of our water ecosystems. We must prioritise investment in critical water infrastructure in the world’s most under-resourced areas where our impact can be greatest. 2

We must transition to a circular economy Pollution control and circular economy solutions can offer economic, social and environmental benefits through reduced demand for natural resources and maximisation of reusable, recyclable and compostable products. We must design out waste and pollution and keep products and materials in use, while regenerating natural systems. 2

We must protect our biodiversity Conclusive action is needed to conserve our natural environment and biodiversity, including our threatened forests and mangroves. Areas needing investment today include nature-based rehabilitation, water filtration and erosion and flood control systems, among others. 3

– WE MUST GREEN OUR TRANSPORT

– WE MUST ELECTRIFY OUR ENERGY

– WE MUST BUILD SUSTAINABLE CITIES

– WE MUST PRESERVE OUR FRESHWATER

– WE MUST TRANSITION TO A CIRCULAR ECONOMY

– WE MUST PROTECT OUR BIODIVERSITY

Nature-Based Solutions: Can We Make Nature Our Ally?

The World Is Not EnoughIf all citizens of the world lived like the people of the United States, we would require 5 full planets to satisfy the annual demand for resources. This data is highlighted by Global Footprint Network, a US-based NGO, every year. The NGO also publishes the exact date – every year – that humans have collectively used up more resources than mother nature is able to create in a single year. Last year, this so-called “Earth Overshoot Day” occurred on August 22, 2020 – a little later than usual, due to the coronavirus pandemic. In 2019, it occurred on July 29. The date has been steadily advancing since 2009.

Nature-based solutions leverage the natural world to tackle climate change, water security, pollution, human health, biodiversity loss and disaster risk management. Nature-based solutions can include, for example, the restoration of forests and wetlands in catchments to secure and regulate water supplies or to protect communities from floods, soil erosion and landslides. They may also include the protection of coastal ecosystems (mangroves, reefs and salt marshes), which are particularly good at sequestering carbon, or even creating green roofs and walls or planting trees in cities to moderate the impact of heatwaves, capturing storm water and abating pollution.

The State of the Paris AgreementThe Paris Agreement is now 5 years old. 196 countries have now signed up. Yet, the road to get here was not smooth. The United States removed its signature from the agreement in 2017, under President Trump. The rejection of the agreement was met with rebukes from world leaders including Angela Merkel, Emmanuel Macron and Paolo Gentiloni. In January 2021, however, new President Biden moved to reinstate the United States into the Paris Agreement. As part of a flurry of executive actions issued on his first day in office, President Biden wrote to Secretary-General António Guterres of the United Nations to inform him of his intention to rejoin the Paris Agreement. Following a 30-day notice period, the United States was allowed in. The United States is now working with the rest of the world to achieve its climate objectives.

What is the Paris Agreement? The Paris Agreement is a legally binding international treaty on climate change. It was adopted in Paris on December 12, 2015, and officially entered into force on November 4, 2016. The goal of the agreement is to limit global warming to well below 2 ºC, preferably to 1.5 ºC, compared to pre-industrial levels.

The World’s Most Popular Climate Policies

Percentage of people who support each climate policy for the immediate future

Climate policies are rapidly going global. Renewable energy is expected to overtake coal and oil in the coming decades. Data shows that the majority of people support extensive climate reform. Results from the world’s largest opinion poll on climate change – the People’s Climate Vote – which is sponsored by the United Nations – showed that 54% of people surveyed supported the conservation of forests and land to help combat climate change. The next most popular policy was the continued use of renewables (most notably, wind, solar and hydro, along with climate-friendly farming method).
