• As with the Morningstar Rating the Morningstar Sustainability Score will be visually presented with symbols. The symbols will be “globes” as seen below.

• Thus our example fund would receive two globes. However if the underlying stocks in the fund had 0 in Controversy Score, the funds Sustainability Score would have been 62.8 and thus resulted in five globes.

New Carbon metric - Why Carbon?

gInvestors and Scientists agree

gClimate change is a risk and an opportunitygInvestors are increasingly looking to manage carbon risk in their portfolios

gWorld Leaders agreegGlobal warming has to be contained under 2 degrees C

gIncrease in national pledges to reduce emissions

g170 countries ratified COP21 agreement in 2015 (UN United Nations Climate Change Conference)

gRegulatory and industry pressures mount

gFrench Energy Transition law gTCFD

gFossil fuel divestment rising globally

gIndividuals, foundations and endowments joining Divest-Invest coalition

gInvestors want to make social and environmental impact

gEnvironmental issues drive interest to sustainable and impact investing

24

Investors Taking action against climate change

DECARBONIZING

g Global Agreement: 174 of 197 Countries agreed to keep global temperature from rising by more than 2 degrees Celsius during COP21 (UN Conference on climate change)

Pension Plans Respond: low carbon mandates g AP4: $17 bn global equity portfolio changed

policy benchmark to low carbong FRR: invested $4 bn into low carbong UK EAPF: invested $500kg CalSTRS: invested $2.5 bn

DIVESTING

g Divest-Invest Coalition unites individuals, endowments and foundations with the total AUM of $4.6 trillion in a pledge to divest out of fossil fuels and invest into renewable energy

Pension Plans Respond by divestment: g Norway Pension Fund / Norges Bank (Coal)g UK local authorities (Southwack, Waltham

Forest, Hackney)g Church of England (Coal and tar sands)g SF Employees Retirement Fund

DISCLOSING RISK

g Growing Climate Related Disclosure: BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street committed to pressuring companies for better climate-risk disclosure

g Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) : driving voluntary and consistent climate-related financial risk disclosures in mainstream filings

25

Morningstar Low Carbon Designation

g The low carbon designation helps investors easily identify low-carbon funds across the global universe and encourages funds to minimize their carbon risk – it’s not a rating

g The “low” carbon-risk threshold is consistent with Sustainalytics’ threshold for a low carbon-risk company; it represents unmanaged and unmanageable carbon risk inherent in a firm’s operations

g Exposure to fossil fuels is the biggest source of carbon intensity; funds with less than 7% of assets are underweight fossil fuels relative to a global universe

Carbon Risk Score (12 Month Average)

High Intensity Fossil Fuel Involvement

(12 Month Average)

Funds must have acarbon risk score < 10

g An in-depth set of more than 70 portfolio carbon metrics

g Reaches a broad audience of more than 10 million investors globally

g Helps investors achieve positive asset societal and environmental impact by combating climate change
