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 now overwhelming evidence that sustainable 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 MSCI ESG and 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 sustainable investment and pension accumulation 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.
