Overview
The aim of the Fund is to achieve capital growth over five years and contribute to positive sustainability impact over this period. The Fund focuses on the opportunities created by the transition to healthy, zero-carbon and sustainable economies.
Why does it matter?
The global economy is in the early stages of a transition to a zero-carbon, nature positive and more sustainable system. Technologies and business models that stabilise the climate and support biodiversity are becoming more prevalent. At the same time, demand is growing for better healthcare and healthier lifestyles that support ageing populations. The FP WHEB Sustainability Impact Fund invests in these ‘industries of the future’ who we believe are poised for long-term growth by meeting these critical social and environmental challenges.
SDR Sustainability Impact label
The FP WHEB Sustainability Impact Fund was the first listed equities fund to achieve the FCA’s Sustainable Disclosure Requirements Sustainability Impact label in September 2024.
