7IM Sustainable Balance Fund

We've been running the 7IM Sustainable Balance Fund since 2007 - a long period in an area where many funds are not able to boast such an extended track record.

Many people are worried about global warming and the future of the planet. The media and politicians talk about the environment, human rights, inequality and the responsibilities of business. And there is good reason to believe that ESG –environmental, social and governmental – issues can influence company and investment returns in the long run.

7IM Sustainable Balance is designed to invest in companies that demonstrate positive and sustainable conduct.

Past performance is not a guide to future performance.

Constructing the portfolio

At the heart of the 7IM Sustainable Balance portfolio are three rigorous processes we use across all our funds and products. We believe these processes provide the fundamentals of a well-diversified investment portfolio.
