Responsible investing
Our approach
We see responsible investing as the incorporation of financially material ESG considerations into investment decisions, alongside engagement with companies, regulators and policymakers, to help drive long-term value creation and support real-world outcomes for our clients.
Our approach to responsible investing considers the nuances of the different asset classes, and investment styles, in which we manage money for our clients.
Our Funds
The Future World funds are aimed at investors who wish to express a conviction on environmental, social and governance (ESG) themes. The range extends L&G's approach to responsible investing across a broad array of asset classes, strategies and investment styles.

L&G Destination@Risk has been developed as a proprietary toolkit to assess climate-related risk for our investments.

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.
L&G engages with companies through a number of avenues, including direct dialogue, objective-driven engagement and voting, in line with our published principles and investment stewardship themes of climate & nature, social resilience and corporate governance.
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.
