The fund aims to provide capital growth by investing in equity and equity related securities of companies worldwide which meet the manager’s sustainability criteria.

The fund invests at least two-thirds of its assets in equity and equity related securities in of companies worldwide. As the fund is index-unconstrained it is managed without reference to an index. The manager believes that companies demonstrating positive sustainability characteristics, such as managing the business for the long-term, recognising its responsibilities to its customers, employees and suppliers, and respecting the environment, are better-placed to maintain their growth and returns over the long term.
