About us

Sustainable development - a driver of returns

We are a small team of passionate investors managing, on behalf of our clients, investment portfolios with a focus on high-quality companies that are well positioned to contribute to, and benefit from, sustainable development.

We believe that fund management has a social purpose, encouraging a savings culture around long-term investment. Our philosophy of careful stewardship is in the best interests of clients and should protect capital over the long term.

We invest over the long term across five regions: Asia, Europe, Global Emerging Markets, the Indian Subcontinent and Worldwide.

Worldwide Leaders Sustainability strategy

The Worldwide Leaders Sustainability strategy launched in November 2013 and transitioned to become a dedicated sustainability strategy in October 2016. The strategy invests in 40-60 high-quality global companies that are particularly well positioned to contribute to, and benefit from, sustainable development.
