What is ESG?

ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance and is an approach for evaluating to what extent a company works towards social goals. For investors this can be used in order to understand how their funds and the assets they are made up of work towards these goals and use that information to help make sustainable investment choices.

This product uses terms and/or marketing related to sustainability. It does not have a label, but the manager is required to produce a disclosures document.

The FCA website sets out further information in relation to the sustainability labelling and disclosure requirements.
