NET ZERO INCOME

Global Impact Income Fund

Feeding the world is becoming harder as climate stress reshapes the supply of food and raw materials. This Article Fund invests in the owners and producers of vital soft commodities — wheat, sugar, cotton, soybeans, cattle, and farmland — whose pricing power strengthens when extreme weather disrupts supply. By harnessing the volatility created by a changing climate, the strategy seeks to turn global agricultural uncertainty into a source of resilient returns and income.

Investment Highlights

  1. Diversification: Exposure across wheat, sugar, soybeans, cotton, cattle and farmland reduces reliance on a single commodity cycle.
  2. Structural Growth: Rising demand for renewable fuels (bioethanol, SAF, biodiesel) anchors demand for sugar, corn and oilseeds.
  3. Pricing Power: Climate volatility amplifies supply shocks, benefiting well-positioned producers with scale and logistics.
  4. Policy Tailwinds: Blending mandates, subsidies, and renewable energy directives (EU RED II, India’s ethanol program, US RFS) create predictable demand growth.

Investment Philosophy

  1. Climate change is disrupting agricultural cycles, creating scarcity and pricing power for producers of vital soft commodities.
  2. Food producers and farmland owners increasingly form part of the energy transition, as crops double as feedstock for biofuels, biomass and renewable energy.
  3. We target companies and assets positioned at the intersection of food security and energy security.
  4. Long-term value creation comes from exposure to inflation-linked, climate-resilient real assets with dual demand drivers.

  2. Dual Demand Drivers: Capture upside from both food security and energy transition trends.
  3. Inflation Hedge: Agricultural assets historically outperform during inflationary cycles.
  4. ESG Alignment: Exposure to low-carbon fuels, sustainable agriculture, and carbon credit monetisation.
  5. Hard Asset Backing: Invest in real, productive assets with intrinsic and enduring value.
Important Information: Capital at Risk. All financial investments involve an element of risk. Therefore, the value of your investment and the income from it will vary and your initial investment amount cannot be guaranteed. The value of your investment and the income from it will vary and your initial investment amount is not guaranteed. Some or all of the Manager’s annual charge for the Fund is taken from capital rather than from income. This increases the income, but reduces the potential for capital growth. Two main risks related to fixed income investing are interest rate risk and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in the market value of bonds. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of the bond will not be able to repay the principal and make interest payments. In the event of default, the value of your investment may reduce. Economic conditions and interest rate levels may also impact significantly the values of high yield bonds. All currency hedged share classes of this fund use derivatives to hedge currency risk. The use of derivatives for a share class could pose a potential risk of contagion (also known as spill-over) to other share classes in the fund. The fund’s management company will ensure appropriate procedures are in place to minimise contagion risk to other share class. Using the drop down box directly below the name of the fund, you can view a list of all share classes in the fund – currency hedged share classes are indicated by the word “Hedged” in the name of the share class. In addition, a full list of all currency hedged share classes is available on request from the fund’s management company.

The Opportunity Set

Soft Commodities in the Energy Transition

Agricultural residues (corn stover, wheat straw, rice husks, bagasse from sugarcane) are increasingly being diverted into biomass power plants and biofuel production.
India is spearheading this trend by turning its sugarcane belt into a “green energy belt”, channelling surplus cane and bagasse into ethanol and biomass for electricity.
For investors, this means producers with access to surplus feedstock are positioned to benefit from premium pricing and government blending mandates.

Rising demand for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), biodiesel and renewable diesel requires a growing volume of oilseeds (soybean, rapeseed), sugar crops, and starches. #VALUE!
Food producers who can scale into dual-use supply chains (food + fuel) capture an expanded market and structural demand growth.

Extreme weather is disrupting harvests more frequently. Producers with scale, diversified geographies, and storage/logistics control benefit disproportionately, as tight supply drives higher commodity prices.
Farmland and vertically integrated producers become natural hedges against inflation and climate risk.

Waste streams from agriculture (e.g., methane from livestock, husks from crops) can be monetised through carbon credit schemes, adding an additional revenue stream.
The carbon cost curve favours producers who can demonstrate lower emissions intensity across their operations, giving them access to premium buyers.

Governments are re-shaping agricultural markets by tying food security and energy security together (EU RED II, US Renewable Fuel Standard, India’s ethanol blending mandates).
Policy alignment provides predictable demand growth and subsidies for producers at the intersection of food and fuel.
