Connected with the major trends that are shaping our future, CPRAM is one of the pioneers in thematic investments. Over the last few years, CPRAM has developed expertise in technology stocks within its "Progress" thematic pillar (covering: disruption and medical technologies themes as examples). This expertise has enabled the identification of new trends and built a strong conviction on Artificial Intelligence.

The investment universe of the CPR Invest - Artificial Intelligence fund is built around 3 main pillars:
- AI infrastructures, which are essential to the development of Artificial Intelligence, covering chip manufacturers, Cloud service providers (computing and data storage) and data centers.

- AI users include companies that are adopting Artificial Intelligence to drive innovation, create new opportunities and optimize their operations.
In order to reflect all the dynamics of the Artificial Intelligence economy, CPRAM has collaborated with MSCI to design a customized new index that will serve as the benchmark for the CPR Invest - Artificial Intelligence fund. This new index is the MSCI ACWI IMI Artificial Intelligence Select Issuer Capped index. Its creation reflects the analysis carried out on the theme of AI and its understanding in order to best capture the potential and challenges of this theme.
This fund is rated Article 8 SFDR[3] and is committed to achieving an ESG score higher than the ESG score of its benchmark index at all times.
We are delighted to be able to offer our clients a new investment strategy that will enable them to gain exposure into a major trend of the future. Artificial Intelligence has the potential to bring greater simplicity, speed and innovation, by democratizing access to new technologies. Its development is broadening the scope of what is possible, and is prompting companies in many sectors to rethink their business models by considering the automation of certain tasks, the introduction of decision-making tools, and even improving their operational efficiency and customer service.
