A sharp eye on environmental and social issues
This profile may invest across most sectors with a focus on sustainable companies that address environmental and social factors - often leading to overweight allocations to healthcare, tech and renewables. And because it’s positively focused, the funds aim to encourage positive company behaviour through responsible voting practices and engagement with senior management.
Positive investment approach
Focuses on identifying companies dedicated to making a positive difference on environmental and/or social issues, through innovative products and services.
