Introducing the EnVIRO fund range.
This site is for UK investment professionals only. If you're not an investment professional, please find out more about us at vitality.co.uk.
Explore our new range of five ready-made ESG focused funds.
The EnVIRO fund range is our range of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) focused funds that enables you to seamlessly integrate ESG into your existing advice process, while offering your clients a simple way to invest in a more sustainable future.Each of the funds within the EnVIRO range is built using underlying index-tracking funds and is designed to optimise long-term returns while focusing on sustainable outcomes. With Dynamic Planner Gold Standard risk ratings, the funds can cater for a wide variety of risk profiles. This gives you certainty that the asset allocation is in line with your clients’ preferences, coupled with the ease and convenience that ready-made solutions offer. The funds also feature ongoing governance at their core, helping to take care of time consuming due diligence for you. It’s the same rigorous framework that’s successfully governed our VIRO fund range for over three years.
Three reasons to choose the EnVIRO fund range.
-
Investments for a sustainable future.
We offer your clients a cost-effective way to achieve sustainable outcomes. We aim to exclude companies that do harm and, where possible, select those with above-average sustainable outcomes. We also review the holdings and approach on an on-going basis.
-
We meet Gold standard risk-targeting.
We integrate ESG easily into your existing advice process, with ready-made solutions to fit your clients’ risk profiles. Asset allocation is reviewed through daily monitoring and dynamic rebalancing, to meet Dynamic Planner's Gold Standard risk-targeting.
-
Established governance framework.
We’ve applied the same rigorous approach that’s governed the Vitality fund range for over three years. This helps reduce the burden of having to carry out complex asset allocation reviews, assessment of ESG criteria and due diligence, giving you time to focus on client needs.
