Krungthai-AXA Life Insurance, a leader in Health and Protection, recently launched KT-EPIC (Ethical, Prosperous & Investment Choices) Fund, a global equity opportunity fund that gives investors access to three major themes centred around digital transformation, health & wealth and sustainable planet. KT-EPIC fund is managed by KTAM, a feeder-master fund structure (the fund’s name is E.P.I.C. Global Equity Opportunities fund, managed by Architas, an AXA Group company.)

Awareness and interest in sustainable investing has been growing in Thailand in recent years, and beyond the desire to make a sustainable impact through their investments, investors are recognising the opportunities for enhanced investment returns as research has shown that it can offer better risk-adjusted investment returns over the long-term. The fund is classified as Article 9 under the European Union Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), the highest sustainable investing classification. This means that it must have a sustainable investing focus as its objective, and is thus suitable for KTAXA’s Unit Link policyholders and for customers who believe in the value of diversification and sustainable investing.

Speaking about the mutual fund, CEO Sally O’Hara said “As one of Thailand’s leading insurance companies, we have a responsibility to our environment and to our customers to engage people in meaningful conversations about sustainable investing. We believe that when we encourage investments into solutions that solve the world’s problems in a sustainable way, the rewards are huge and multifold in the long-term for the investor.”

O’Hara concluded, “This fund is in line with our long-term ESG strategy, which is reflective of our purpose ‘to act for human progress by protecting what matters’.”
