Artemis Fund Managers has launched a global equity fund to invest in companies addressing challenges to sustainability.
The Artemis Positive Future fund contains 35-45 early-stage quoted companies selected for their potential to “disrupt inefficient, outmoded business models”, the firm said.
“The best long-term opportunities for growth lie in companies that are addressing the challenges of sustainability,” said Craig Bonthron, one of the managers of the fund. “Our aim is to identify emerging companies that are doing this and that are poised to displace incumbents.”
Bonthron is joined by Neil Goddin (pictured), Jonathan Parsons and Ryan Smith in managing the fund. The four previously managed the Aegon Global Sustainable Equity fund.
