Future Leaders Portfolios

Invest sustainably using low-cost index funds

For investors who want their investments to generate long-term returns and prioritise sustainability by investing in the most responsibly run businesses whilst avoiding the most controversial activities.

Invest in the most responsibly run businesses

The Future Leaders strategy invests in low-cost passive funds that invest in well-run businesses, showing leadership within their sector in managing relevant environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks, and avoid the most controversial sectors. This is complemented by sustainable thematic funds.

Invest in the sustainability leaders of tomorrow

Future Leaders portfolios are a one-stop-shop sustainable investment solution:

Low cost

These portfolios are built using index funds with low fund charges.

All our portfolios are globally diversified, and regularly rebalanced to reflect our views on the potential returns from different markets.

Sustainable

Future Leaders portfolios select the most sustainable companies based on published Environmental, Social and Governance (‘ESG’) data.

They also use thematic funds to provide an overweight to sustainable sectors (clean energy, healthcare and green bonds).

Low carbon

All this means that Future Leaders portfolios have a lower carbon footprint than market benchmarks.

And based on our scenario analysis, they are compatible with limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees.

Long-term returns

Eight risk-adjusted portfolio options are available, globally diversified across asset classes – ranging from defensive to all-equity.

Select risk grade

Past performance is not a guide to future performance.

The value of investments and the income derived from them may go down as well as up, so you could get back less than you originally invested.

Model portfolio performance is shown in sterling, net of underlying fund charges and an annual management fee of 0.59%, with all income reinvested. Actual client returns and the levels of fees will vary. Annual management fees will vary depending on assets under management and the level of service. We use the UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) to benchmark the performance of our portfolios; CPI measures changes in the price level of a weighted average market basket of consumer goods and services purchased by households. Data sources: EQ, Morningstar.
