Royal London Asset Management has announced that all eight funds in its GBP11 billion sustainable fund range will adopt a Sustainability Focus label under the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR).
The firm writes that this milestone highlights their experience and long-term track record in sustainable investing and underscores their commitment to help investors navigate the evolving regulatory landscape.
The Sustainability Focus label demonstrates to clients how sustainability considerations are consistently integrated in our investment decisions, helping them to make informed decisions.
Mike Fox, head of equities, Royal London Asset Management says: “Adopting the Sustainability Focus label provides reassurance to our clients regarding the high standards of sustainability practices embedded in our funds, which have also delivered award-winning investment performance.
“We remain committed to ensuring clients benefit from our clear and consistent sustainability-driven approach to investing.”
The eight funds in the Sustainable fund range offer a choice of 100 per cent equity to 100 per cent fixed income funds, including a number of multi-asset funds, providing investors with a choice of investments mapped against potential risk and returns.
The funds have been managed with the same actively managed investment process for over 20 years. We believe that investing in innovative, well-managed companies with strong business models whose products and services have a positive impact on society will be the key driver of returns for our clients.
Mike Fox says: “Sustainable investing is about driving long-term value for our clients, the wider economy and society. By actively investing in companies, we can encourage continuous improvement in their sustainability practices for the benefit of everyone.”
