Overview
The Specialists Strategy seeks to achieve sustainable, above market returns over the longer term by investing globally in companies that are developing innovative solutions to resource challenges in environmental markets. These markets address a number of long term macro-economic themes: growing populations, rising living standards, increasing urbanization, rising consumption, and depletion of limited natural resources. Investments are made in “pure-play” small and mid-cap companies which have >50% of their underlying revenue generated by sales of products or services in environmental markets.
High Growth
Powerful drivers – growing population, rising living standards and finite natural resources – have triggered above average growth for companies in the environmental markets.
Pure Play
All companies derive the majority of their revenues or profits by creating solutions to environmental constraints.
Positive Impact
5 years of impact reporting demonstrating environmental benefits from companies in the portfolio.
