We are delighted to announce a bolstering to the responsible investment funds that we recommend on the Square Mile Academy of Funds.
We have awarded the Liontrust Sustainable Future Corporate Bond fund an A rating and the Vanguard SRI Global Stock and Vanguard SRI European Stock funds 'Recommended' ratings respectively.
The Liontrust Sustainable Future Corporate Bond fund has a strong focus on sustainability, but this is not at the expense of sound investment principles. We think this fund has a sensible investment process, is run by a very able team and that over the long run it should provide good relative returns for investors, whilst being of benefit to the wider society and environment.
The Vanguard SRI Global Stock and the Vanguard SRI European Stock funds are passively managed investment strategies in which the managers avoid companies that do not meet their socially responsible investing criteria. These funds should provide a solid option for investors seeking passive exposure with an ESG overlay.
