The Jupiter Global Sustainable Equities (LUX) Fund targets the best risk-adjusted returns for clients by investing for the long-term in high-

quality companies that are leading the transition to a more sustainable world.

Companies actively seeking to minimise their impact on our planet, and to maximise the value they create for society, are more likely to deliver stronger long-term financial returns for investors.

What a company sells and how a company behaves matters, particularly to its financial returns.

For example, if a company keeps the interests of its key stakeholders at the core of its decision-making, it is more likely to have a productive work force, strong client retention, and more resilient profitability. If a company proactively manages its impact on the planet by using green energy, using less water, creating less waste, and embedding biodiversity considerations, that is an indication of a long-term approach to its future.

The impact of a company’s products and services provides important investment insights. The team looks to address key societal needs, such as gender, race and wealth equality, through analysing how a company behaves and what it sells. Companies that provide preventative healthcare solutions or improve access to financial services align investors to the structural growth drivers arising from the transition to a more sustainable world.

The fund seeks to invest in companies that are financially strong, operationally efficient, and have stable, long-term profitability.

In the following infographics, we explain why this fund is well positioned to help clients align their savings to a more sustainable world.
