Responsible Investing:

Solutions

Responsible investing is a personal journey. Clients may have different environmental and social priorities, and preferences for different investment approaches. To try to meet this need, we offer a variety of solutions in our dedicated responsible investing platform: Portfolios with Purpose. This platform offers investors a diverse range of solutions that aim to achieve financial objectives with an ESG focus.

Investors can choose from a range of strategies across a variety of different asset classes, with diverse sector exposures and performance patterns that are suitable for different market environments.

Our Portfolios with Purpose currently span three different product ranges. These include our Sustainable Portfolios, which invest in issuers addressing environmental or social challenges through their products, services, or practices. Responsible+ Portfolios which have an additional responsibly focus, such as climate resilience or best-in-class allocations. And Impact Portfolios that seek to provide a positive, measurable impact on society or the environment.
