Royal London Sustainable Portfolios

PlanPlus Global - Monday, 18 November 2019

We are pleased to announce that Royal London Sustainable Portfolios are now mapped to FinaMetrica risk tolerance scores alongside Royal London’s existing GMAP range.
 
“Sustainable investing is a modern and inclusive method of embedding values in investing. The conceptual difference compared to responsible investing is that the screening is positive – rather than ‘screening out’, we ‘screen in’. So it is about doing good, rather than avoiding bad.” Mike Fox, Head of Sustainable Investments.
 
The primary aim of the sustainable fund range is to achieve or exceed market rates of return. Royal London does this while integrating Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors, seeking to make pragmatic investments that will have a positive impact on society. Royal London believe that integrating these factors actually helps rather than hinders, long-term investment returns. Their sustainable investment process highlights market inefficiencies that can be exploited to generate positive investment returns and by considering both the positive and negative sides of ESG factors.
 
Royal London range of five sustainable funds have an explicit mandate to invest only in companies that provide a positive net benefit to society or are ESG leaders relative to their peers. They integrate financial and ESG considerations with the aim of providing positive contributions to your clients’ portfolios. The funds are designed to work both as single funds and as a suite which spans the risk spectrum, ranging from 100% fixed interest to 100% equity, with three mixed asset funds.
