L&G Future World ESG Screened & Selected Multi-Index range has been awarded the Responsible Recommended rating by Titan Square Mile analysts.
The L&G range builds on the success of the firm’s flagship Multi-Index range as well as leveraging the group’s strong responsible investment heritage and resources.
The analysts said that while the funds follow the same investment process as the Multi-Index range and are managed by the same team, “additional responsible investment considerations are incorporated, including exclusions and tilting towards companies with superior ESG credentials.
“This results in a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to many non-responsibly managed peers. The analysts believe this range to be an attractive solution for investors seeking a low-cost, responsibly managed multi-asset investment proposition.”
Titan Square Mile analysts have also upgraded the rating for the
BlueBay Impact-Aligned Bond fund.
This is from Responsible Positive Prospect to Responsible A, reflecting the analysts’ growing conviction in the fund’s management team which operates within a well-considered sustainability framework.
The analysts believe that the combination of extensive resources at BlueBay and a well-established investment approach provides the fund with the potential to deliver alpha through both top-down asset allocation and bottom-up issuer selection.
The fund’s sustainability and impact credentials remain a key feature, and Titan Square Mile’s analysts view this fund as a compelling proposition for fixed income investors seeking exposure to positive environmental and social investment themes.
