Stewart Investors Global Emerging Markets Leaders Sustainability Fund
Stewart Investors Global Emerging Markets Leaders Sustainability
The Global Emerging Markets Leaders Sustainability strategy, launched in the UK in December 2021, is now available to clients in Europe. It invests in 25-60 high-quality emerging markets companies that we consider to be particularly well positioned to contribute to, and benefit from, sustainable development.
Leaders simply means that the strategy is focused on companies with a market cap value of at least USD1 billion.
Strategy highlights: a focus on quality and sustainability
We invest in high-quality companies with exceptional cultures, strong franchises and resilient financials
Our investable universe includes emerging markets companies globally and is based on economic activity rather than index country listings
Companies must contribute to sustainable development
We avoid companies linked to harmful activities and engage and vote for positive change
Our approach is long-term, bottom-up, high conviction and benchmark agnostic
We focus on capital preservation as well as capital growth – we define risk as the permanent loss of client capital
Portfolio Explorer
Our Portfolio Explorer tool allows you to explore strategies, companies, countries and sustainability issues of interest in four views – map, human development pillars, climate solutions and Sustainable Development Goals
We focus on understanding the contributions individual companies make to sustainable development. We believe that qualitative assessments are as important as quantitative measures and understanding the real-world impact that companies have and the challenges they face requires context and nuance, which are best expressed in stories rather than sustainability scores that often conceal more than they reveal.
This tool tells the sustainable development stories of the companies we invest in across our strategies, and the contribution companies are making towards human development, climate solutions or the Sustainable Development Goals. The tool also refers to key risks and engagement topics.
The tool can filter, tap and switch between views in order to explore the different ways in which we believe the companies are making the world a better place.
If you are unable to view the portfolio explorer, please re-open in Google Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari or Opera. IE11 is not supported.
