ESG
Aligning ethical principles with financial prudence is a proven investment strategy. Research indicates that companies that prioritise environmental sustainability and demonstrate social and governance responsibility consistently outperform those that do not.
Ethical considerations are ingrained in our investment approach. We do not invest in specific sectors such as fossil fuels, gambling, tobacco, and armaments. And when selecting companies to buy, we place significant emphasis on evaluating their positive Environmental, Social, and Governance credentials.

The Sustainable Finance Development Regulation is a set of rules which aims to make the sustainability profile of funds more easily comparable through defined metrics for assessing the ESG outcomes of the investment process. An Article 8 fund is, “a Fund which promotes, among other characteristics, environmental or social characteristics, or a combination of those characteristics, provided that the companies in which the investments are made follow good governance practices”. Our Fund is an SFDR8 Fund.
