Columbia Threadneedle launches sustainable outcome funds
Columbia Threadneedle has launched two sustainability-focused funds in response to growing investor demand.
Both funds will draw on eight themes related to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, including food security, health and wellbeing, and the climate transition.
Portfolio managers, Pauline Grange and Andrea Carzana, will work alongside the firm’s fundamental research and responsible investment in portfolio construction, using in-house ratings.
To be included, companies need to have sustainability as a material part of their business and as a “genuine” management goal, Columbia Threadneedle stated.
The funds are concentrated equity strategies, one global and one pan-European, and seek to invest in companies that target positive sustainable outcomes alongside strong financial returns.
