United StatesPORTSMOUTH, N.H., March 10, 2022 – Impax Asset Management, the specialist asset manager investing in the transition to a more sustainable economy, and investment adviser to the Pax World Funds, announced that its Pax Global Environmental Markets Fund (PGINX) has received two 2022 Refinitiv Lipper Fund Awards.
The Refinitiv Lipper Fund Awards annually recognize funds and managers that have excelled in delivering consistently strong risk-adjusted performance relative to their peers based on fund data and proprietary quantitative methodology.
The Pax Global Environmental Markets Fund (Institutional) received the:
- Best Global Multi-Cap Core Fund Over Three Years, out of 43 funds
- Best Global Multi-Cap Core Fund Over Ten Years, out of 28 funds
“We are incredibly proud that the Pax Global Environmental Markets Fund has been recognized as a leader with these two Refinitiv Lipper Awards,” says Bruce Jenkyn-Jones, Chief Investment Officer, Listed Equities at Impax Asset Management. “The Fund is a compelling option for investors interested in capturing opportunities presented by the transition to a more sustainable economy. This award is an important recognition of the dedication of the whole portfolio management team.”
Robert Jenkins, Global Head of Research at Refinitiv Lipper, notes the 2022 awards recognize the fund managers who are successfully facing down market factors not seen in decades, including rising inflation, a thinning labor pool and continuing constraints on the global supply chain.
“Markets are ebbing and flowing along with the sentiments and emotions of investors as events continue to cloud outlooks and change perspectives,” Jenkins says. “Fund managers find themselves looking beyond earnings statements and factoring in impacts of viral waves — making active management more challenging than ever. We applaud Impax Asset Management for delivering outperformance and consistency to investors’ portfolios during a time of unprecedented change.”
