Sustain.
Ability.

The Jupiter Global Sustainable Equities Strategy targets high-quality companies that in our view are leading the transition to a more sustainable world through how they behave and the real-world effect of what they sell. We take a long-term approach to investing and therefore consider quality in the context of how companies balance the considerations of Planet, People and Profit.

Planet – on which we all depend
It is vital that companies manage the environmental footprint of their operations. We want companies to focus on using their resources efficiently and contribute to the global economy’s transition towards decarbonisation.

People – with whom we all co-exist
It is our view that companies that invest in their people, providing a supportive and inclusive working environment and contributing positively to society, will be best placed to thrive.

Profit – that we all require for our savings
Producing resilient profits is crucial for any company’s long-term future in this changing world. We value companies that manage their business for long-term sustainability, not short-term gains.

The investment strategy considers what a company sells and how a company behaves, focusing on materiality in the context of future cash flows and relevance to economic resilience. For example, if a company keeps the interests of its key stakeholders at the core of its decision-making, in our view it is more likely to have a productive workforce, strong client retention, and more resilient profitability. If a company proactively manages its impact on the planet by using green energy, using less water, creating less waste, and embedding biodiversity considerations, that is an indication of a long-term approach to its future.

We look to address key societal needs such as gender and social equality, decarbonisation, improving preventative healthcare and broadening access to financial services through analysing how a company behaves and what it sells.
