Responsible Horizons
What is Responsible Horizons?
Many investors are looking to achieve a positive environmental or social impact, and to invest in sustainable businesses that will stand the test of time. Every Responsible Horizons portfolio will:
- Reflect long-term themes, such as climate change and social inequality.
- Emphasise the best and avoid the worst performers on ESG issues, based on research powered by Insight Prime.
- Avoid certain investments with a negative impact, including tobacco producers.
- Apply a higher hurdle for environmentally sensitive industries, like energy companies.
The value of investments can fall. Investors may not get back the amount invested. Income from investments may vary and is not guaranteed.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Investment Approach Risk: These Funds can be considered to follow an ESG investment approach or incorporate elements of an ESG investment approach, which may cause it to perform differently than other funds that have a similar objective but which do not integrate an ESG investment approach (or elements thereof) when selecting securities. In addition, in following an ESG investment approach, these Funds are dependent upon information and data from third parties (which may include providers for research reports, screenings, ratings and/or analysis such as index providers and consultants). Such information or data may be incomplete, inaccurate or inconsistent.
