BlackRock has launched a new ESG oriented equity fund, adding to its portfolio of products with a sustainable tilt.
The Authorised Contractual Scheme (ACS) World ESG Insights Equity Fund will have a focus on demonstrating materiality by simplifying ESG investing.
The fund will be managed by Jonathan Adams and Andre Bertolotti who will utilise research insights from BlackRock’s Sustainable Investing team.
BlackRock head of UK Sarah Melvin said: “With the significant reallocation of capital to companies with more sustainable practices already underway, pension schemes, insurers, and wealth platforms are asking for our help to realise this historic investment opportunity.
