FAQ
Responsible investing is the integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors within investment portfolios, alongside traditional financial analysis to support long-term investment outcomes.
Our approach to responsible investing considers the nuances of the different asset classes, and investment styles in which we manage money for our clients. We have implemented a comprehensive responsible investment framework to outline how we align strategies towards clear, consistent, and demonstrable sustainability objectives.
We believe responsible investing is essential to creating long-term value by looking to mitigate risks and seek opportunities, while aiming to drive positive change for the future of markets and economies.
L&G manages a range of portfolios for clients who wish specifically to integrate climate considerations into their investments through defined objectives. Additionally, L&G’s investment stewardship activities under our “climate & nature” theme provide a structured approach to engaging with companies on climate change.

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.
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.
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.
