R240 FPIL Schroder Global Sustainable Growth (USD)

The fund aims to provide capital growth by investing in equity and equity related securities of companies worldwide which meet the manager’s sustainability criteria.

The fund invests at least two-thirds of its assets in equity and equity related securities in of companies worldwide. As the fund is index-unconstrained it is managed without reference to an index. The manager believes that companies demonstrating positive sustainability characteristics, such as managing the business for the long-term, recognising its responsibilities to its customers, employees and suppliers, and respecting the environment, are better-placed to maintain their growth and returns over the long term. In addition, the manager believes that when aligned with other drivers of growth, this can result in stronger earnings growth which is often under appreciated by the market. The fund may use derivatives with the aim of reducing risk or managing the Fund more efficiently.
