- Ossiam Food for Biodiversity UCITS ETF (F4DE.DE) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that provides exposure to a portfolio of approximately 70 large- and mid-cap equities from developed markets active in the food sector, including agriculture, packaged food producers, manufacturers, retailers, distributors, restaurants, and packaging providers; the portfolio employs an optimization procedure to minimize negative biodiversity impact, achieving a 99% reduction in biodiversity footprint equivalent to preserving 218 square kilometers of habitat per $100 million invested, while incorporating ESG data from providers such as Sustainalytics, Trucost, ISS, and Iceberg Data Lab for best-in-class filtering that excludes top greenhouse gas emitters and the lowest 20% ESG-rated firms per sub-sector. Top holdings include McDonald's Corp, Starbucks Corp, Unilever PLC, Target Corp, and Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc, representing consumer defensive (60.83%), consumer cyclical (30.73%), industrials (4.57%), and basic materials (3.70%) sectors, with non-UK stocks comprising 74.80% of assets, UK stocks 25.03%, and minimal cash exposure. Launched on December 30, 2020, as part of Ossiam IRL ICAV, an Irish-domiciled open-ended investment company with ISIN IE00BN0YSK89, the accumulating share class carries a total expense ratio of 0.75% and lists on exchanges including Deutsche Boerse Xetra (EUR: F4DE, USD: F4DU variant), Frankfurt, and others available in Germany, Ireland, and Italy. The ETF operates within the broader Ossiam ecosystem, a Paris-based specialist in quantitative and systematic strategies founded in 2009 and majority-owned by Natixis Investment Managers since 2010, with headquarters at 36 Rue Brunel, Paris, France. Ossiam manages assets focused on smart beta, ESG, and active ETFs targeting institutional and retail investors seeking biodiversity-aligned exposure in global food equities. Recent developments include shortlisting for the 'Best Sustainable Investment ETF' at the 2025 Sustainable Investment Awards by Investment Week, recognition amid Ossiam's expansion of its Paris-Aligned Benchmark (PAB) equity ETF range surpassing €2 billion in assets as of July 2024, and ongoing enhancements to its Shiller CAPE and biodiversity-focused strategies launched or grown in recent years. In partnership with Iceberg Data Lab since the ETF's inception, Ossiam continues to advance biodiversity metrics in food sector investing, with no major acquisitions, funding rounds, or operational reorganizations reported for the fund itself in the last 1-2 years. Fund size stands at approximately €32 million equivalent, reflecting steady operations post-launch.
