Screening

We launched our first screened fund in 1988. This marked the start of a long-term commitment to responsible and sustainable investment. Screening is a core activity which supports the integration of sustainability into our range of funds. We believe consistent, long-term returns are more likely to be achieved by investing responsibly in sustainable businesses, and we integrate environmental, social and governance factors throughout our investment process.

Across our range of funds we seek to invest in companies operating as sustainable businesses, as well as those contributing to environmental and social solutions. Screening, at its simplest, entails reviewing the suitability of companies to be included in our funds in accordance with their sustainability practices.
