Sustainable Food & Biodiversity
UCITS ETF
Fund Vision
The CIRCA5000 Sustainable Food & Biodiversity UCITS ETF (C5KF) aims to tackle the global threat of food insecurity and the environmental impact of increased food production. With population growth set to continue, food production will need to increase by 60 per cent by 2050 (UN). Solving this challenge could have a devastating impact on our environment - it must be achieved sustainably to preserve global biodiversity. C5KF invests in some of the leading pioneers of Agriculture 4.0 — from vertical farming to plant-based proteins and precision agriculture to forestry management. C5KF aims to deliver investment results corresponding to the impak CIRCA5000 Sustainable Food & Biodiversity Impact Index.

CIRCA5000's strategy is to invest in companies that manufacture products, or offer the services that generate a positive environmental or social impact. For example, the homeowner who buys solar panels for their home is ultimately responsible for the positive impact generated and the company that manufactured them is the facilitator. Therefore, by investing in these companies, CIRCA5000 supports users to generate a positive impact, but we are of course, not responsible for it on our own.
This impact is therefore 'associated' rather than direct. We source our data from two providers, Net Purpose and impak Analytics, to ensure we have the most robust and complete data possible.
Data is annual and based on the latest company reports, with some additional products and services estimates provided by Net Purpose.
