Strategy description
The strategy looks at companies and organisations focused on providing solutions in areas such as climate change mitigation, pollution prevention, the circular economy, sustainable use and protection of water and natural ecosystems and present multi-decade investment opportunities. Thus offering our clients focused and specialist exposure to these companies, generating both positive investment re-turns and sustainability impacts.
The Fund has a thematic global growth bias. It typically invests in businesses which provide an environmental solution. Particular areas of focus include environmental infrastructure, resource efficiency and demographics. Within these themes the Fund Manager takes a bottom-up, stock selection approach to investment, looking for businesses with strong growth potential within the broad thematic investment universe.
SRI Highlights
The Environmental and Sustainable Investment team conducts its own analysis in conjunction with research from a selection of third party specialists. The team draws on the knowledge of specialist stock broking analysts, environmental and social scientists and government and independent research agencies. Prior to investment each company must be approved as one that provides an environmental solution at the core of its business. This process is referred to as ‘positive’ screening as it determines whether a company can be included in the portfolio. In addition, each company must also pass a ‘negative’ screen.
