We understand that, increasingly, our customers are looking to align their investments with their environmental and social values. This is just the start of our journey to a brighter future. We will keep listening to you, and innovating, and build more investment funds that have the potential to work for the good of the planet as well as you and your family’s financial future.
By choosing to invest in our range of Planet+ funds, you have the opportunity to support businesses that are leading the way for a healthy planet, by creating smart energy technology or reducing waste. Your money can help to find and fund the pioneers in social inclusion, like those providing more affordable education or offering childcare. And your investments have the opportunity to fund the infrastructure that matters most, like hospitals, homes and offices, to work towards something better for us all.
While we offer a wide range funds, each with their own individual aims and objectives, our Planet+ funds aim to help our customers achieve something better for the environment and society as well as long-term financial returns. So let’s create a more positive future together, one investment at a time.
The value and income from any fund's assets will go down as well as up. This will cause the value of your investment to fall as well as rise. There is no guarantee that the fund will achieve its objective and you may get back less than you originally invested.
Our range of Planet+ funds have been built with two clear aims in mind – to deliver long-term financial returns for our customers and to contribute towards a better future for society and the planet.
Within the range, there are both sustainable and impact funds to choose from, both aiming for long-term financial returns while achieving something better.
Sustainable funds make investments in companies driven by sustainability themed considerations, like the ongoing fight against climate change, or air pollution, while at the same time meeting high environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards.
Impact funds go one step further, and invest in companies that aim to address some of the world’s major social and environmental challenges.
