Green Path Portfolios
A low-cost actively managed portfolio service that is designed for sustainable growth using environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment values.
Socially responsible investment (SRI) and the use of ESG investment criteria to guide investments has moved into the mainstream. There is evidence that responsible investment can deliver comparable returns with traditional investments and also offer opportunities for outperformance based on reduced risk.
Our Green Path portfolio funds consider the impact of the funds in which they invest on the environment; their social impact recognising the civil, economic and social rights of all stakeholders; and ensuring good corporate governance.
All our Green Path portfolio holdings are regularly screened using ESG criteria through Morningstar Sustainability Ratings. Our strategies take a positive approach to seeking sustainable investments that have a greater potential to boost returns.
Our three Green Path portfolios invest in a blend of ESG index tracking and exchange traded funds as well as actively managed funds covering all major global markets.
The portfolio range aims to achieve sustainable growth and provide a diversification of assets at a very competitive price to the investor.
The Green Path portfolios are designed to assist in efficient reliable, and responsible investment and pension accumulation strategies.

Green Path portfolios focus on a number of key factors
Good corporate governance is important to achieve a sustainable business.
A transformation is occurring in energy sources with a rapid rise in renewable energy.
Technology is changing what we demand and what we consume. Only adaptable companies will survive.
Investors can be quick to punish companies found to be using child labour or damaging the environment.
Information on ESG policies of companies is more widely available.
Regulation is forcing companies to adopt ESG compliant strategies.
ESG investing has been driven by key changes in investor behaviour. Many private investors want a more active, objective driven approach. There is also a realisation that ESG focused investments are not just philanthropic but a way to future proofing your investments where performance need not be compromised.
Sustainability and fair opportunity have led to investors pursuing the concept of a healthy balance between investment returns and the long-term preservation of our natural resources and the respectful treatment of labour and equality.
All of these factors are in themselves forceful drivers of change. Taken as a whole, the ESG effect has become a compelling element moving to the centre of institutional financial activity.
For a rapidly increasing number of investors, ESG forms the core focus of their investment strategy. This is not simply a moral principle, but as the most relevant factor in providing a model for sustainable returns.
