Overview
Our longstanding philosophy is that as environmental issues become more ever more pivotal to global development, so too do environmental solutions in their marketplaces, providing a potential source of long-term investment returns.
Ecology: the relationship of living things to their environment and each other
The fund follows six environmental themes and is managed by Jon Wallace and Nicole Guo.
Why environmental solutions investing?
Finding solutions
The organisations we invest in seek to address the profound challenges of climate change and natural capital depletion. The economy is embedded in the biosphere and our biosphere is facing severe degradation.

Jupiter Ecology Fund risks
- Currency (FX) Risk – The Fund can be exposed to different currencies and movements in foreign exchange rates can cause the value of investments to fall as well as rise.
- Pricing Risk – Price movements in financial assets mean the value of assets can fall as well as rise, with this risk typically amplified in more volatile market conditions.
- Derivative risk – the Fund may use derivatives to reduce costs and/or the overall risk of the Fund (this is also known as Efficient Portfolio Management or “EPM”). Derivatives involve a level of risk, however, for EPM they should not increase the overall riskiness of the Fund.
- Counterparty Risk – the risk of losses due to the default of a counterparty e.g. on a derivatives contract or a custodian that is safeguarding the Fund’s assets.
- ESG (thematic) – Investments are selected or excluded on both financial and nonfinancial criteria, adopting an environmental solutions thematic approach to sustainable investment. The Fund’s performance may differ from the broader market or other funds that do not utilize sustainable investment criteria when selecting investments. The Fund’s investments are required to meet this criteria and the Fund may sell a security for reasons related solely to its sustainable investment criteria.
- ESG Data – The Fund uses data from third parties (which may include providers for research, reports, screenings, ratings and/or analysis such as index providers and consultants) and that information or data may be incomplete, inaccurate or inconsistent.
