Virgin Climate Change Fund typical investing demo

Most environmental funds exclude entire industry sectors - like oil, gas, electricity and transportation - on ethical grounds. This approach excludes some of the companies with the highest growth potential. This leaves the fund manager with a smaller pool of companies for which to select the best performers.

The net result? A smaller portolio, restricted investment opportunities, less diversity and increased volatility.

No industry exclusion filters mean we include all industries - so you don't miss out on lucrative sectors like oil, gas, electricity and transportation.

Our approach gives the fund manager a larger pool of companies from which to cherry pick the high perfomers and exclude the poor performers. Our green filter then ensure any companies that don't meet our benchmark are excluded. So only those with good environmental credentials go through to the final portfolio.

Net result? Increased performance potential with a wider range of stocks, with greater diversity and less volatility.
