Rating change for Comgest Growth Japan fund

Since launching our Responsible ratings, we have continued to refine and enhance the criteria by which we assess the constituents of our Responsibly rated universe. As a result, we believe that the Comgest Growth Japan fund no longer meets our Responsible rating criteria. Therefore, we will be changing the fund's rating from a Responsible A to an A rating. We retain complete conviction in this fund, its managers and their investment approach, which is ESG integrated, and believe it to be a very strong choice for those investors seeking access to high quality, growing companies in the Japanese market.
