Moving the world to a more sustainable future is an incredibly complex task. One made more complicated by the fact that everyone has a slightly different view on how best to achieve it. Similarly, there is no one way to succeed when it comes to sustainable investing, but with more than 15 independent investment managers, each with their own distinctive approach to active management, we believe we are uniquely placed to help wherever you are on your sustainable investing journey.
We certainly don’t have all the answers, but we do have a sustainable investing legacy that stretches all the way back to 1984 and the launch of our first Socially Responsible Investment fund1, a deep understanding of the complexity confronting investors and an offering that includes responsible, sustainable and impact investment vehicles across equities, fixed income, multi-asset, private assets and liquid alternatives. Whatever path you are on, we feel confident, we have the right partner for you.
