The greatest challenge and opportunity of our times.

Increasing physical manifestations of an already damaged climate draw stark attention to the scale, scope and urgency of a climate transition. The world needs to decarbonise – and needs to do it quickly. At the same time, pressure from consumers, regulators and innovation is rapidly changing the business landscape. This situation creates an attractive opportunity to invest in companies that may benefit from a global transition to net-zero emissions and a climate-resilient economy.¹

The challenges and the opportunities.

There is an urgent need for greater climate action. Current levels and trends in global greenhouse gases could force temperatures to rise by 3°C or higher this century.1	The world must rapidly transition to a net-zero economy. To stabilise Earth’s temperature, we must reduce emissions by 50% by 2030 and transition to net-zero CO2 by 2050.2
Economic growth and decarbonisation requires investment to surge. Annual investment needs to almost double to USD 5.5 trillion this decade to remain below the 2°C increase. Capital must be reallocated to both decarbonise and adapt to a carbon-damaged world.2	This creates a significant investment opportunity across all sectors. We believe that companies that embrace the transition to a climate-resilient economy will be well positioned to generate growth.3

The Sub-Fund invests in companies across all sectors that we believe may benefit from the transition to a carbon-constrained world and the adaptation to a carbon-damaged world.

From core themes to climate transition.

Our investment process is a multi-team effort involving specialists in sustainability research, investment strategy, sector analysis and portfolio management.

Detailed sustainability reporting is provided to inform investors of their investment’s impact.

A knowledge powerhouse in sustainable and thematic investing.

The strategy draws on the expertise of our Sustainable Investment Research, Strategy and Stewardship (SIRSS) team, who identifies the key sustainable risks and opportunities across all investment sectors. This enables our analysts and portfolio managers to make informed decisions when assessing whether companies could be well positioned to thrive through sustainability challenges. SIRSS has developed research which analyses the scientific, technological and regulatory forces underpinning the investment proposition.

Stewardship.

The SIRSS team also works alongside the portfolio managers and analysts to exercise active ownership, engagement and stewardship. Companies are encouraged to set clear, measurable objectives addressing financially material ESG issues and align with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
