Royal London has expanded its sustainable range with the launch of three new funds.
Available for investment via both the Royal London ISA and Royal London Pension offerings, the addition of the RLS Sustainable Growth, RLS Sustainable Short Duration Corporate Bond and RLS Global Sustainable Credit funds expands the firm’s sustainable range to nine funds.
The funds managed by Royal London Asset Management provide investors with access to underlying strategies carrying the SDR sustainable focus label.
Royal London will research each potential investment to decide if it’s suitable from a sustainability perspective and financially.
Its approach centres on four sustainability themes. For UK funds, this means considering sustainable companies that are clean, healthy, safe and inclusive. For the offshore fund, this means considering companies that are cleaner, healthier, safer and more inclusive.
Andrew Kitchen, head of responsible investment proposition at Royal London, said: “We constantly review and evolve our propositions to ensure they continue to meet customer needs and expectations. These new funds reinforce our position as a purpose-driven mutual, with a clear focus on playing our part in moving fairly to a sustainable world.
“We believe that sustainable investing makes sense for the benefit of wider society and the environment as well as financially.”
