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.
The scale of change required to reverse climate change is creating significant investment opportunities in environmental solutions companies, which provide critical products and services to help businesses achieve sustainability targets. These solutions are likely to spread widely to as-yet unpenetrated sectors.

targets. The most sophisticated of these commitments – Scope 3 – covers suppliers, end users and product disposal - Countries: National net zero pledges cover 68% of global GDP, 56% of global population and include US, China, UK, EU and Japan

Scope 2 are indirect GHG emissions associated with the purchase of electricity, heat or cooling. Scope 3 are all indirect emissions not included in Scope 2 that occur in the value chain, including upstream supply and logistics, and downstream activities such as the use and disposal of sold products.
