Join leading fund managers as they reveal how they're evolving their sustainable investment strategies, engaging with companies to drive real change, and staying ahead of mounting regulatory scrutiny - uncovering the opportunities, managing the risks, and sharing how it all fits into client portfolios in this fast-moving space. πŸ’‘ **EdenTree Sustainable Global Equity Fund - Combining sustainable thematic focus and rigorous bottom-up fundamental analysis to achieve SARP** David Osfield, CFA has been managing the EdenTree Sustainable Global Equity fund for a decade seeking companies that align to multi-decade, multi-trillion-dollar sustainable investment themes 1) cleaner, safer, circular 2) healthy future and 3) disruptive technology. Different to many sustainable peers, stock selection focuses on finding sustainable companies at reasonable valuations through rigorous fundamental analysis. We call this SARP, sustainability at reasonable price. However, the team doesn’t just buy good sustainable companies that are well priced. Each holding must fulfil a specific role within the portfolio. Accordingly, every holding is assessed relative to its thematic contribution, factor-risk exposure and diversification benefits. The objective is to maintain a high active share, controlled tracking error and diversified returns. The outcome is a core, all weather global equity solution with a sustainable thematic overlay. πŸ’‘ **The benefits of a core approach to global sustainable equity** Sustainable equity investing has come under pressure in recent years, weighed down by growth and quality biases. But is this a structural necessity, or can it be mitigated through thoughtful portfolio construction? In this session, Martin Frandsen, Portfolio Manager of the Global Sustainable Equity Fund (SFDR Article 9), explores the benefits of a core approach that seeks resilience across different market environments. Drawing on his work in global responsible and thematic investing, Martin will challenge common assumptions about the sector and share where he sees genuine opportunity. πŸ’‘ **Staying the Course** In a world of rapidly changing macroeconomic backdrop and technological change, a clear north star is required to ensure portfolio behaviour is aligned to intended client outcomes. Having recently joined Nomura Asset Management with 18 years sustainable investing experience Nick Henderson, Head of Global Sustainable Equities, will explore the recent market changes affecting sustainable investment, how we can navigate these choppy waters, and what he looks to bring to the role to enhance the already comprehensive sustainable investment process at Nomura. πŸ’‘ **Sustainable Investment Grade Credit: Delivering Quality and Resilient Income** In today’s environment, global fixed income provides access to a broad and diversified universe of issuers across regions, sectors and credit markets. This flexibility enables portfolio managers to adapt to changing market conditions, identify attractive income opportunities, and seek resilient risk-adjusted returns through active credit selection and global allocation. Integrating sustainability considerations with fundamental credit analysis provides deeper insight into the long-term risks and opportunities facing corporate issuers. In our session, we will introduce our two sustainable strategies: the Sustainable Short Term Bond Income Fund (short-dated investment grade) and the Sustainable Global Corporate Bond Fund (all maturity investment grade). πŸ’‘ **Future Generations: The second-mover advantage** Being first is not always the same as getting it right. By observing the early evolution of sustainable investing, Capital Group was able to learn from the industry's experience and develop a broader, investment-led approach. This session will examine how those lessons informed the development of the Future Generations strategies, bringing to life how sustainability research can uncover long-term investment opportunities and provide differentiated insights into companies positioned to benefit from structural change.
