Schroder ISF* Global Sustainable Growth Fund
Invest in responsible and enduring businesses globallyLong-term value created through long-lasting relationships
The long-term success of a company is built on a complex ecosystem of sustainable behaviours that, when done right, creates real value both for the company and further afield.
Schroder ISF Global Sustainable Growth
An actively managed equity fund that scours the world for companies that are managed for the long-term and account for their impact on all stakeholders. We believe these sustainably-run companies are best placed to deliver superior growth and stable long-term returns for investors.
Why Schroder ISF Global Sustainable Growth?
A unique approach to building a sustainable portfolio
Moving away from just ‘box-ticking’, we use our proprietary Sustainability Quotient (SQ) framework to aid in our sustainability analysis. The framework is an in-depth, forward-looking, qualitative assessment comprising of 20 questions framed around 4 broad pillars. These are complex issues that require us to consult a wide range of resources and interact directly with companies to determine their sustainability profiles or flag out existing issues. The process is highly rigorous and stringent, with ~50% of companies rejected post-analysis.
No doubt, it is often difficult to quantify a companies’ relationship with key stakeholders and understand the direct impact our investments have on society and the environment. That is why, like our proprietary SQ framework, we have developed a set of proprietary tools called the ImpactIQ platform that are essential in our analysis and stock picking of the sustainability winners.
Undertake targeted company engagements
As an active, long-term manager, we see ourselves as owners of the companies we invest in. Engagement is therefore a crucial part of our process. We believe proactive engagement is effective in influencing company practices which can help improve shareholder returns and broader societal outcomes.
