The Fund's Mission
The Investec Global Sustainable Equity Fund ("the Fund") seeks to capture the returns of businesses that are aligned to achieving one or more of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a globally accepted framework through which businesses can align their strategic goals with ESG considerations.
The 17 SDGs are underpinned by 169 individual targets, which have been encoded into government action plans. They represent observable and tangible opportunities for companies to offer solutions and services to help achieve them. Through the Fund, investors are able to invest in companies that we believe can provide attractive investment returns over the long-term, through the lens of the SDG framework.
