Mike Fox, head of equities at RLAM, commented: “Adopting the Sustainability Focus label provides reassurance to our clients regarding the high standards of sustainability practices embedded in our funds, which have also delivered award-winning investment performance.
“We remain committed to ensuring clients benefit from our clear and consistent sustainability-driven approach to investing.”
The eight funds in the Sustainable fund range offer a choice of 100% equity to 100% fixed income funds, including several multi-asset funds, providing investors with a choice of investments mapped against potential risk and returns. The funds have been managed with the same actively managed investment process for over 20 years.
Fox continued: “Sustainable investing is about driving long-term value for our clients, the wider economy and society. By actively investing in companies, we can encourage continuous improvement in their sustainability practices for the benefit of everyone.”
