At Jupiter, we have been running green and socially responsible investment (SRI) funds for over 25 years. This has enabled us to develop a leading knowledge of corporate environmental, social and governance performance. Our team is made up of specialist green and SRI fund managers and the Green and SRI Research Team of expert analysts. This team researches and manages two ethically screened green and SRI Unit Trusts, namely the Jupiter Ecology Fund and the Jupiter Environmental Income Fund. We also research and manage the Jupiter Green Investment Trust and the Jupiter Climate Change Solutions Fund (SICAV).
The investment universe is expanding at a rapid rate, and we believe that there are three notable long-term drivers of growth within this universe:
1. Government policy and regulation is proving vital in forcing the pace of change and therefore the adoption of new technologies and services.
2. Adoption of environmentally-friendly practices in the corporate sector is generating opportunities for service and product providers.
3. The consumer sector is beginning to become increasingly important by driving further adoption of environmental products and services.
