The distance between sustainability and return is closer than you think
Invest in world class companies dedicated to achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and that we believe can provide you with attractive returns.
The Fund's Mission
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.

It’s natural for well-managed, high-quality companies to incorporate sustainability into their long-term strategy, since these are companies that are most likely to have enduring and market-leading profitability. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals provide us with the perfect framework to make this assessment, and a timeframe to work within to galvanise our efforts towards a better world for future generations.
