Responsible investing

Our approach and credentials

At L&G, we believe environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors – such as climate change, social inequality and executive pay – are financially material. So we see responsible investing as the incorporation of ESG considerations into investment decisions.

Responsible investing, in our view, is essential to mitigate risks, unearth investment opportunities and strengthen long-term returns for clients. It is also core to our approach: our very purpose at L&G is to create a better future through responsible investing.

Why choose us for ESG?

Our credentials as a responsible investor

We take a consistent approach, across our entire book, to voting and engagement
Innovation in tackling climate change, from modelling the energy transition to targeted engagements
A wide range of responsible investment strategies, across different asset classes

Integrated approach

Across both public and private assets, we have established a fully integrated framework for responsible investing, seeking to strengthen long-term returns and raise market standards. This is based on investment stewardship with impact and collaborative, active research across asset classes.

Future World

The Future World funds are for investors who wish to express a conviction on ESG themes. The range extends L&G’s approach to responsible investing across a broad array of asset classes, strategies and investment styles.

Climate Impact Pledge

The world is facing a climate emergency, which could have drastic consequences for markets, companies and our clients’ assets. As a result, in 2016 we launched our Climate Impact Pledge, under which we assess, score and engage with companies key to the energy transition, to help them address this era-defining challenge.

Investment stewardship and engagement

Our Investment Stewardship team engages with companies to address company-specific and market-wide risks and opportunities. The team does so alongside L&G’s investment teams, as part of our Global Research & Engagement Platform.

Active ownership

Active ownership means working with companies, policymakers and other investors to create sustainable value. Our annual report details how we achieved this.

Disclaimer

Whilst L&G has integrated Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations into its investment decision-making and stewardship practices, this does not guarantee the achievement of responsible investing goals within funds that do not include specific ESG goals within their objectives.

Key risks

The value of an investment and any income taken from it is not guaranteed and can go down as well as up, and the investor may get back less than the original amount invested.

The risks associated with each fund or investment strategy should be read and understood before making any investment decisions. Further information on the risks of investing in this fund is available in the prospectus here.
