Octopus Climate Change Fund

Sustainable, Responsible &/or ESG Policy:

Investment Objective and Policy

This fund aims to grow your money over the longer term (five years or more) by investing in the listed shares of companies from around the world that develop or use products and services designed to maximise resource efficiency, support the transition to a low carbon economy and address wider environmental challenges.

The fund aims to provide a total return (income and capital growth) which is benchmarked against the MSCI All Countries World Index GBP. This index represents the performance of hundreds of shares from around the world. By actively selecting which shares to invest in, the fund aims to beat the returns of this index, after charges, measured over periods of three years or more.

The fund invests in companies (typically 35-45) providing products and services which enable businesses and society to transition to a low carbon economy or reduce their environmental impact in other ways (we refer to these companies as ‘solution providers’), and also companies who are leaders within their respective industries in terms of reducing emissions, waste or resource usage (we refer to these companies as ‘leaders’). The fund will actively engage with the companies it invests in to make sure that their products and services deliver on their stated environmental and positive change or impact aims.

The fund will not invest in companies with material revenues (more than 10%) from tobacco manufacturing, the extraction or processing of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas), controversial weapons, or companies who violate the UN Global Compact principles on human rights, labour, the environment and anti corruption.

The benchmark is used as a reference point for creating the portfolio. However, the fund might deviate significantly from the benchmark, and may also invest in companies which aren’t included in the benchmark. The fund is expected to have a tracking error in the range of 4-10% measured over annual periods.
