Investment approach
The Fund invests in global equities, considering both fundamental analysis and ESG criteria within its investment process. To begin with, in-house sector analysts conduct financial analysis on a global universe of companies. This is complemented by rigorous research from our dedicated ESG analysts. By combining the two, the portfolio managers construct a portfolio of companies that are either “Best in Class” from an ESG perspective, or that have demonstrated a clear commitment to improving their ESG performance.
Companies that score poorly against our ESG criteria are not included in the portfolio.
The Global Sustainability team has a preference for companies which exhibit high quality and growth characteristics, at an attractive valuation. The result is a diversified portfolio of high-performing, global companiest hat manage ESG risk on a best in class basis.
