MARKET REVIEW The COVID‐19 crisis continues to impact econ‐omies and markets. Although a certain degree of stability has returned, we do not believe we are out of the woods yet; and we all agree that there is a lack of visibility with regards to the real impact of this disaster. 

This episode has led to unprecedented market volatility and is expected to set the stage for a global  recession.  Nevertheless,  it  has  con‐firmed  that  sustainable  development  makes sense and is indeed becoming a much‐needed option. 

The quality of the response of investee compa‐nies to this crisis has been commensurate with the situation. It has demonstrated the speed of adaptation and management’s ability to make the right decisions required to ensure the sta‐bility and viability of their business while pre‐serving the safety and well‐being of their em‐ployees.  

Within this highly unusual context, the follow‐ing represents an overview of the evolution of our investment solutions.  

OUR PRODUCTS ONE Sustainable Fund Global Environment

Since the beginning of the year and until the end of June 2020, our thematic fund, ONE Sustainable Fund Global Environment, posted (in EUR) a decrease of 3.77% com-pared with a decrease of 5.89% of the MSCI World Index (i.e. an outperformance of 2.12%). The Water Manage-ment and Energy Efficiency themes held up well. Two par-ticularly noteworthy examples are provided by Danaher (an American company that develops products for several industries including life sciences, diagnostics and environ-mental solutions; up 15.3%) ; and Schneider Electric (a French company that develops stable, efficient and sus-tainable energy management technologies and solutions and is the world leader in energy management and au-tomation - up 9.5%). In terms of sectors, the fund bene-fited mainly from its underweight position in Energy and Finance and its overweight position in Information Tech-nology.

Finally, although the Industry sector has suffered during the crisis, several portfolio companies have contributed well, such as Nibe Industrier (a Swedish company offering solutions to improve energy efficiency related to heating equipment and systems - up 27.5%) ; and Tomra Systems (a Norwegian company offering solutions for industrial waste sorting, collection networks and recycling; up 14.6%).

Today, the fund has an over nine-year track record and is one of the best funds investing in Environmental Technol-ogy themes with a 4-star Morningstar rating and a maxi-mum Morningstar (5 Globes) rating for sustainability.

Below is a chart showing the fund’s historical performances

since its launch in March 2011:

ONE Sustainable Fund Europe Dividend

Our European equity fund, ONE Sustainable Fund Eu-rope Dividend, was down -7.74% over the first half of the year, compared with an MSCI Europe Index down -12.89% (i.e. a 5.15% outperformance). Here too, we were able to test the defensive nature of the fund, which held up well during this unusual period. The fund bene-fited mainly from its underweight position in the Financials and Energy sectors, which suffered during the crisis, as well as its overweight position in the Consumer Staples sector (Jeronimo Martins up 3.05% and Axfood down just 1% in the first half). The fund has an over three-year track record, a 5-star rating on Morningstar and a maximum Morningstar rating (5 Globes) for sustainability.

The following chart shows the fund’s historical perfor-mances since its launch in May 2016:

ONE Sustainable Fund Europe Dividend

ONE CREATION Cooperative

Finally, our Investment Cooperative, ONE CREATION, distributed a record dividend for the 2019 financial year. This 7.1% dividend was unanimously accepted at the General Assembly held on 1 April 2020. The coopera-tive's share capital continued to grow during this period of crisis, rising by 4.8% to CHF 15.76 million, and its positive impact profile is greatly appreciated by new in-vestors. The annual report available at www.onecrea-tion.org gives full details of this, as well as the relation-ship to the sustainable development objectives (SDO).

The following chart shows the evolution of dividends over the last few years and further on you will find more details on the performance of our products, as well as an article by M r . Damien Contamin, Impact Investing Advisor at CONINCO Explorers in finance SA, which addresses the topic: "The circular economy, reflecting the interdepend-ence between the economy, the environment and soci-ety".

OUR VISION Sustainable investment has long been considered a niche investment. Nowadays, it is more commonly referred to as mainstream investment. The movement started with private investors and then accelerated with the institutional investors shift. In fact, recent studies have clearly shown that sustainable solutions show the same levels of performance as traditional active management with the potential to benefit from some risk premia (such as those related to climate change) over the long term. In view of the environmental and social challenges that humanity has been facing for years, we have chosen to focus our efforts on the themes of the future. The companies exposed to these themes offer a real potential for return and benefit from the following characteristics:

- A growing demand in the face of a real need. - A positive evolution over the last few years

(growth in sales, growth in profits, etc.). - Extraordinary investment needs. - Favorable regulations. - Effective solutions.

Our solutions not only deliver solid financial performance but also address the pressing social and environmental challenges facing the world. Return / Risk / Impact, an applied trilogy that is no longer a marginal strategy but a central element of a growing number of private and institutional investors.

THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY, REFLECTING THE INTERDEPENDENCE BETWEEN THE ECONOMY, THE ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIETY While there are many lessons to be learned from the Coronavirus crisis, one is particularly self-evident: it illus-trates the subtle interdependence between the various el-ements of the living system to which humans belong. A virus, by definition imperceptible to the naked eye, is ca-pable of affecting the entire world population indiscrimi-nately, simultaneously paralysing the economy and soci-ety as a whole, leading to unexpected changes in our so-cial relations.

This observation raises the issue of the complexity of the world and our way of understanding it. One cannot decently dissociate the economic approach from environmental and social con-siderations. Everything is inter-woven. The consequence of this interconnection is to reveal each individual’s share of re-sponsibility in the emergence of the present situation, which is merely the inevitable consequence of our past actions.

The Brundtland Report, published by the World Commis-sion on Environment and Development, in 1987, aimed to breathe a wind of ecological and social-democratic change into capitalism and thus initiated a systemic ap-proach by introducing the concept of " sustainable

1 Massachussetts Institute of Technology, a renowned American research institute (and university) specialising in the fields of sci-ence and technology.

development " on the world stage. Its key argument is based on the observation that environmental degradation is mainly caused by developing countries which have in-sufficient economic and technological means to tackle environmental problems. The approach it advocates in-volves promoting a model of economic growth which would have the two-fold virtue of reducing world poverty and thereby improving environmental protection. Ulti-mately, the proposals put forward by the Brundtland re-port are intended to " meet the needs of the present with-out compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs ".

Since then, the concept of " sustainable development" has been used more widely and frequently to designate – whether on the scale of a country or a company – any economic model whose objective is to support growth that can both preserve the multiple interests of individuals while integrating environmental constraints.

In this respect, it is opposed to the concept of “degrowth” advocated by the Rome Report initiated by the Club of Rome in 1972. The team of MIT1 researchers – led by Donatella and Dennis Meadows – in charge of drafting this report highlights the dangers that the logic of eco-nomic growth within a context of strong demographic growth poses for both the environment and society as a whole.

These two " movements " continue to fuel the prevailing divide between different environmental policies, with the core debate revolving around the primacy of humans over

Nature.

The circular economy business model transcends the two previ-ous approaches by taking the re-flection beyond the concept of growth. It achieves this by draw-ing direct inspiration from living

systems, with " growth " taking the place of “regeneration”.

The silo approach is giving way to an ecosystem approach in which economic players no longer interact solely in a competition-based mode, but instead integrate a cooper-ative dimension into their actions. All the stakeholders in this model then embrace the interdependence of the phe-nomena composing the complex world in which we live, by linking environmental, social and economic chal-lenges. The circular economy underpins a radical change

of mentality where our behaviour is directly modelled on that of the elements composing living systems.

" Drawing upon Nature and giving something back" is the new mantra of biomimicry, from which the proponents of the circular economy have drawn much inspiration.

The circular economy: an alternative to the “linear” eco-nomic model

The circular economy is an alternative to the current eco-nomic model described as " linear ". (cf. Figure 1) which conceives the life cycle of a product as a succession of stages implying that any product and its components are in fact waste in the making, according to the logic of " Take, Make, Dump & Waste ". The logic of efficiency takes precedence over optimising natural resources.

Diagram of a linear economic system

Figure 1

All products are made of biological and technical mate-rials. Technical components such as metals or plastics are by definition unsuitable for the biosphere. Moreover, within a linear economy, the production chain is designed in such a way that no consideration is given to dissociat-ing biological and technical components, because the fi-nancial cost of reintegrating biological materials into a new production cycle will always remain higher than the cost of extracting additional natural resources.

This means that the logic of efficiency underlying the lin-ear economy model pays little attention to environmental issues. It focuses on results, without taking account of the negative-impact externalities it generates. This model, which is still largely dominant, nonetheless gives rise to three types of proven negative externalities:

- Environmental damage. This is done by overexploiting raw materials; destroying extraction areas; using non-re-newable energies that generate polluting emissions dur-ing the production process; as well as by producing an undue amount of waste. It differs in this respect from the model of living systems, within which the notion of waste

is non-existent according to the formula: " nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed".

- Dilution of economic stakeholders’ responsibility. The responsibility of the producing company stops at the cor-porate borders, at the very moment the product is sold to consumers. The latter are then free to dispose of it or get rid of it without having to account for their behaviour, ei-ther because they consider that the product is outdated or that is no longer fulfils its functions. The product is then dumped in a landfill even though its components have a positive value in terms of potential use.

- Increased risk exposure. Over the past two decades, the volatile prices of certain commodity prices (such as metals and agricultural goods) have reached record highs, ex-posing businesses to growing uncertainty. To such an ex-tent that it has become imperative to decouple questions of " revenues " and " commodities ".

This economic model of devel-opment has admittedly lifted billions of people out of ex-treme poverty, but at what cost? The volume of natural re-sources extracted far exceeds the Earth's biocapacity, i.e. its capacity to regenerate renewa-ble resources, supply non-re-newable resources and absorb

waste. In the face of a sluggish economy and a steadily growing world population rises the challenging issue of employment.

The current model based on consumption "at all costs ", and thus implying a destruction of values, is being re-placed by a circular business model that must aim to transcend mere economic growth. From this standpoint, the circular economy gives concrete expression to the ob-jective of shifting from a model of negative impact reduc-tion to a model of value creation that is positive on social, economic, environmental and financial levels. The pro-duction process is no longer based on the logic of effi-ciency, but on maximising the yield of non-renewable raw materials. This paradigm shift is imperative as the planet’s resources are finite and inevitably destined to dry up.

The three pillars of the circular economy

The circular economy goes beyond the framework of a" linear " economy by integrating a multidimensional ap-proach. Its mode of operation, which is directly inspired by natural ecosystems, is sometimes referred to as a " re-generative " economy. This ecosystem approach makes it possible to optimise the potential for value creation

generated by materials, work and energy (renewable by nature) by optimising the cycles of reuse, repair, renova-tion and recycling of various components. The concept of " waste " is no longer relevant, since biological materials are re-turned to a new production circuit or simply to their natural environ-ment. Non-renewable materials, on the other hand, are destined to be introduced to cascading pro-duction cycles in an endless pro-cess. The circular economy is thus based on an organisation that in-terconnects all the players in this ecosystem: a company exploits, recovers or reuses " waste " (whether technical or biological) from another company. The concept of consumer is re-placed by the concept of user. “Users” are now linked to producers by a shared interest in contributing to maximis-ing product performance. This new configuration sounds the death knell for planned obsolescence.

Figure 2

First pillar: ecodesign

This is a strategic design management process that con-siders environmental impacts throughout the life cycle of products, packaging, processes, services, organisations and systems. It distinguishes between " waste " and "value". The circularity of this model (see Figure 2) lies in the fact that, at all stages of its life (raw material exploitation, manufacturing, use, repair, recycling and reintegration), the product is seen as a flow of energy and technical or biological material utilised in such a way as to maximise the use value of its components.

Ecodesign promotes an integrated vision of the produc-tion chain. Products are designed to be deconstructed ra-ther than destroyed. The production chain is thus organ-

ised in such a way that compo-nents and materials can be easily recovered and detached.

Second pillar: industrial ecology

This is a mode of organization aiming – within a given territory – to create an ecosystem of compa-nies cooperating in a synergistic logic. The " waste " of certain play-ers constitutes the resources of others. The aim is to model the in-

dustrial system on the functioning of biological ecosys-tems. By favouring short routes and optimising flow ex-changes, this organisational method helps wipe out in-dustry’s impact on the environment.

Third pillar: a functionality-based economy

The principle of such an economy is a model of produc-tion, distribution and consumption of goods and services.

The manufacturer now sells the use of the prod-uct and not the product itself. The value of a product now lies in its function. Customers are therefore invited to share with the producer a re-lationship of co-responsibility in the destiny re-served for the product and its components as well as its impact on the environment. Customers thereforefocus on use rather than possession, thus abandoning the status of consumer. This new approach justifies the emergence of the so-called " collaborative " economy in the wake of successive economic crises and the rise of virtual networks.

Circular economy and sustainable development

The circular economy model is a “regenerative” growth factor creating jobs and thus combating poverty, while at the same time making it a point of honour to be implemented and organised according to environmental constraints. The innovation promoted by the circular economy is both technological and conceptual. Technol-ogy becomes a tool for reproducing the mechanisms of living systems, which are integrated into a chain of values and production that aims to achieve autonomy and thus overcome the constraint of the finiteness of natural re-sources.

It fully meets the objectives set out in the Brundtland report through its ability to create new economic and financial opportunities, while taking into account environmental and social issues. Its detractors might criticise it for main-taining an anthropocentric world vision within which Na-ture has a merely instrumental value. Nevertheless, within this scenario, human intelligence is indeed dedicated to serving human interests (or indeed survival), yet while re-specting the requirements for the elements of living sys-tems to flourish and be renewed. The circular economy model aims to avoid the " eve-rything is waste” approach, to optimise and maximise the use of components and materials used in manufacturing prod-ucts, as well as to engage us-ers’ responsibility in the prod-uct life cycle. It thus reaches out to champions of radical ecology, for whom Nature is a parameter to be taken into consideration for what it is (intrinsic value) and not only for what it can contribute (instrumental value).

As a line of thought, it is worth outlining the principles of a circular economy 2.0. This implies not only encourag-ing a reduction in the untimely use of natural resources during product life cycles, but also incorporating the preservation of living systems (natural and social) as a whole into our daily decision-making. It requires the adoption of a holistic view of the world that the linear economy model has hitherto excluded from considera-tion. In addition to technological and conceptual innova-tion, a revolution of consciousness is thus taking place, suggesting that when making choices human beings

consider both the interdependence inherent in the living world as well as the resultant responsibility.

In this way, humankind will find a way to escape the un-speakable force that is currently driving it to create from scratch the conditions for its own extinction.

Because of its immeasurable influence, finance can no longer escape its responsibilities. It has a duty to make a positive impact that is commensurate with the countless

environmental, economic and social issues that are looming on the horizon and which pose a threat to the human race, amongst others. If it does not fully embrace this approach, Nature will eventually, sooner or later, assert its rights by af-firming its primacy over human intelligence. And no innovative

technological tool or monetary policy, however radical it may be, will find favour in that moment. The constraint facing finance is that of its congruence. It can head in their direction by dedicating itself to serving a real econ-omy directly linked to the reality of the living world. It will thus make it possible to achieve the performance bonus resulting from social responsibility.

Within such a context, sustainable finance will only be consistent if it refuses to settle for a form of " veneer " com-posed of SRI and ESG criteria, but instead makes room for " impact investing ". Finance in support of the circular economy is one solution. Chances are that human be-ings’ individual interests and those of their natural and social environment will thus become One.

Circular Economy and interdependence: The case of MONDI

As a leader in the packaging and paper industry, MONDI has made the circular economy a central part of its sustain-ability strategy. It approaches this issue in a holistic manner by interconnecting the economic, environmental and social dimensions.

The circular economy is present at all stages of the production chain: from the exploitation of natural resources to the ecosystem relationship it maintains with its stakeholders (including consumers), through the ecodesign of its production process.

The nature of its activity makes it very dependent on wood as a primary resource. Up to 75% of the world's freshwater used for agricultural, domestic, industrial and environmental purposes comes from forests and 90% of the world's cities depend on watersheds for their water supplies. With more than three-quarters of the world's population facing water insecurity, managing forests for water is crucial. Forests are the world's largest carbon store after the oceans.

vironmental, economic and social issues that

are looming on the horizon and which pose a

During the month of June, the fund was up 0.95%, underperforming the MSCI Europe

index which was up 2.72%.

The fund suffered from its underweight in the Financial sector which recovered well

during the month. The overweight in the Consumer Staples and Consumer

Discretionary sectors also had a negative impact. The Healthcare sector also had a

negative impact (ex. Smith & Nephew down 9.3% and Novo Nordisk down 1.6%).

Regarding region contribution, British companies (ex. Unilever with -0.5% or Croda

International was up only 0.24%) and Danish companies (ex. Vestas Wind System

decreased by 1.2%) suffered the most.

On the positive side, the fund benefited from its underweight in the Energy sector as

well as its overweight in industrial stocks. At the regional level, German companies

(ex. Deutsche Post up 13.3%), Swedish companies (ex. Volvo with + 9.6%) and

French companies (ex. L'Oréal up 9.1% and LVMH with 4.13%) contributed positively.

The fund posted a positive performance of 2.65% during the month of June, against an

increase of 1.32% for the MSCI World index (1.33% of outperformance).

The fund mainly benefited from its underweight in the Energy, Healthcare, Telecoms and

Consumer Staples sectors which were penalized during the month. The overweight in the

Materials and Information Technology sectors was also beneficial.

Regarding the environmental themes contribution, we mainly note the positive impact of

Ecological materials companies (ex. Johnson Controls was up 8.3% and Saint-Gobain was

up 10.3%).

On the negative side, the fund suffered from its underweight in the Financial and Consumer

Discretionary sectors, which recovered well during the month. Japanese companies (ex.

Kyocera down -0.5% and Denso up only 0.67%) and British companies (ex. Spectris down

2.3%) had a negative impact. Finally, the environmental theme of Energy Efficiency also

contributed negatively (ex. Belimo Holdings down 2.99%).

The fund posted a positive performance of 2.65% during the month of June, against an

increase of 1.32% for the MSCI World index (1.33% of outperformance).

The fund mainly benefited from its underweight in the Energy, Healthcare, Telecoms and

Consumer Staples sectors which were penalized during the month. The overweight in the

Materials and Information Technology sectors was also beneficial.

Regarding the environmental themes contribution, we mainly note the positive impact of

Ecological materials companies (ex. Johnson Controls was up 8.3% and Saint-Gobain was

up 10.3%).

On the negative side, the fund suffered from its underweight in the Financial and Consumer

Discretionary sectors, which recovered well during the month. Japanese companies (ex.

Kyocera down -0.5% and Denso up only 0.67%) and British companies (ex. Spectris down

2.3%) had a negative impact. Finally, the environmental theme of Energy Efficiency also

contributed negatively (ex. Belimo Holdings down 2.99%).

The physical gold made available by the institutions, under the

CONINCO Explorers in finance contract with them, allows PX

PRECINOX to have physical gold for its manufacturing activity, but

without giving it ownership of this gold.

CONINCO Explorers in finance SA, approved by FINMA as a mana-

ger of foreign collective investments, has the task of managing the

administration of investments (fine gold weight account) as well as the

supervision of the framework conditions agreed with the gold custo-

dians, in particular with regard to the physical presence of gold in the

latter's secure areas and their full insurance.

This investment solution is intended for institutions wishing to have

exposure to gold and which, in return for making this gold available

to the industry in a secure way, will allow them to benefit from a re-

muneration instead of paying fees for its storage and its insurance

against loss, destruction, damage and theft.

The risks associated with fluctuations in the gold price and any ex-

change rate in the investor's reference currency are entirely market-

dependent and are the sole responsibility of the investor.

metal processing, is an independent and family owned Swiss

Privileged partner in the watchmaking and fine jewellery sector, PX

Its LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) accreditation allows it

to manufacture investment products such as ingots whose certifica-

tion is automatically recognized by the banking sector.
