With the sustainable sector’s newly-fashionable status has come some blurring of the terminology in the scramble to launch new products. Distinct and clearly-defined investment approaches have been stretched and morphed to appeal to an even wider investor base. Much of this comes from inexperience, as some of the new kids on the block seek to claim some ground on the RI landscape.
Royal London Asset Management (RLAM) has been providing sustainable investment options since 2003, and this year marks the 10th anniversary of two of the funds in their risk profiled range of five sustainable funds: Royal London Sustainable Diversified Trust and Royal London Sustainable World Trust.
To mark the anniversary, Mike Fox (Head of Sustainable Investments at RLAM) will be offering the benefit of almost 20 years’ experience as he traces the development of the sector, demystifies the current landscape and explains how sustainable investing is applied across the RLAM range in a series of webinars this autumn.
