Schroders is today announcing the launch of the Schroder ISF[1] Global Climate Leaders, further strengthening its focus on sustainability across its thematic Global Transformation Range (GTR).
The GTR is a suite of funds designed to give investors long-term exposure to the most powerful and persistent themes shaping the world’s future.
Schroder ISF Global Climate Leaders, managed by portfolio managers Simon Webber and Isabella Hervey-Bathurst, will aim to provide investors with exposure to companies benefitting from a competitive advantage due to their ‘climate change leadership’.
Climate leaders are companies that have ambitious targets to decarbonise, encompassing the likes of reducing their carbon emissions to carbon removal, consistent with achieving a 1.5 degree scenario or better under the Paris Agreement for climate change.
The fund is unconstrained and will look to allocate to 50-80 stocks spanning all geographies and sectors.
It is classified under the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation as Article 8.
