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.
