Launches the official website of a sustainable, equity-focused investment fund based in the US
The JP Morgan US Sustainable Equity Fund, with an ISIN of LU2363199030, has set its sights on a sustainable future. This fund, managed by David Small and Danielle Hines, eschews data from external providers and instead relies on its in-house team of over 20 analysts to seek out sustainability pioneers.
The fund employs specific sustainable investment strategies, targeting companies with substantially enhanced sustainability metrics. These metrics include steep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3), water usage, and waste generation intensity. The fund aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and applies rigorous governance standards, such as board independence and gender diversity.
The fund tracks a sustainability-focused index developed in collaboration with Solactive and Impact Cubed. This index aims for an 80% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, targets a 50% cut in Scope 3 emissions (indirect emissions), seeks a 90% reduction in water consumption and waste generation intensity relative to its parent index, and improves alignment with key UN SDGs.
The index also applies strict exclusion policies based on sustainability performance, eliminating companies that fail to meet high sustainability standards. Examples of excluded industries and companies include those involved in controversial weapons or nuclear weapons, or those that violate the UN Global Compact norms.
The fund's selection is based on a fundamental analysis that includes a 70-question sustainability assessment. The fund invests in 50 to 70 companies that demonstrate good corporate governance, manage environmental and social issues exceptionally well, and have a sustainable business model. The research analysts collaborate with the Sustainable Investing Team for active dialogue with the companies.
This collaboration aims to support and drive changes towards best practices for sustainable outcomes. The fund's ambitions are not limited to investment; it seeks to foster a culture of sustainability among the companies it invests in.
