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.
You can invest in a range of sustainable and impact funds through myM&G. Some funds in this range 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.
Impact investing strategies aim to invest in solutions to the world’s most pressing social and environmental challenges, from climate change to social inequality. These investments should deliver intentional, measurable positive impacts, while also looking to generate a financial return.
Our public equity impact strategies invest in companies providing solutions across six key environmental and social impact areas. These are climate action, environmental solutions, circular economy, better health, saving lives, better work and education, and social inclusion.
Sustainable investing involves making investment decisions incorporating Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors whilst trying to have a positive effect, or, reduce negative effects on the environment and society through active stewardship and/or portfolio construction.
People have different needs in terms of the risk they're willing and able to take and the returns they want to aim for. This is why we offer a range of sustainable funds to suit different types of investors.
The value of investments will fluctuate, which will cause prices to fall as well as rise and you may not get back the original amount you invested. We are unable to give financial advice. If you are unsure about the suitability of your investment, speak to your financial adviser. The views expressed here should not be taken as a recommendation, advice or forecast.
