Through their activities and the products and services they provide, every company has an impact on the world around us. So where we choose to invest our money has the potential to shape not only our financial future, but possibly the planet’s future too.
A large number of us are already making a difference through our positive choices, like switching to green energy, reducing waste and challenging inequalities around the world. We believe how we invest should be one of those choices.
Our Planet+ funds offer you several different approaches to how we invest, to better match your preferences. Some funds may simply seek to reduce how much they invest in companies that cause harm to the environment or society, and other funds may try to do more, for example by seeking out companies working on their effect on the environment.
Our impact funds offer you the opportunity to invest in businesses we consider to be having a positive impact, such as providing environmental solutions, taking climate action, or contributing to the circular economy (by reducing or recycling waste, for example), as well as those working towards better health, better work and education and social inclusion.
Within the range, there are impact and sustainable funds to choose from.
Impact funds target a measurable, positive impact for people and the planet, alongside achieving long-term financial returns.
Sustainable funds look to make investments that contribute towards a more sustainable future for society and the planet.
The value of your investment can go down as well as up so you might not get back the amount you put in.
SDR was published by the FCA in November 2023. These new regulations apply to all investment products with sustainable characteristics and aim to make it easier for investors to understand these products by introducing greater transparency, accountability and comparability. We’ll be writing to investors in our impact and sustainable funds over the remainder of 2024 to explain how their fund is changing to meet these regulations.
