Ways to Invest
Find out how to invest in this fundHL Research - Our view on this Fund
There is an increasing change in attitudes towards the environment both at the political level and by companies and consumers. This is being driven by concerns on climate change and also higher energy costs. More recently, a number of holdings in the fund’s clear energy theme have made good progress. While the fund has struggled in the short term, we believe it is well placed to capture ecological investment opportunities going forward.
