Overview

A systematic core strategy that seeks to integrate the risks and opportunities arising from the transition to a more sustainable economy.

Sustainability Lens

The strategy integrates the Impax Sustainability Lens, a proprietary tool that weights the portfolio toward subsectors we believe offer attractive opportunities and lower risk associated with the transition to a more sustainable economy.

ESG Leaders

Constructed to provide higher exposure to companies with favorable ESG ratings relative to their sector and industry peers, as determined by MSCI.

Energy Transition Approach

The strategy replaces traditional energy companies with energy efficiency companies, with the aim to reduce climate-related risks and to invest in the growing demand for energy efficiency solutions.
