The Quilter Investors Cirilium range has added three sustainable equity funds.
The funds added to the portfolios were the Jupiter Global Sustainable Equities fund, Premier Miton European Sustainable Leaders fund and the Regnan Global Impact Equities fund, all of which invest in companies leading the transition to a more sustainable world or target a positive impact by investing in companies that have the potential to address social and environmental issues. Alongside this, the group has added the Wells Fargo Global Climate Bond, which was seeded by Quilter Investors, to the lower risk conservative and balanced portfolios.

Invesco has expanded its responsible ETF range.
The addition of the Invesco MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Universal Screened UCITS ETF means that investors will now have a choice of eight regional and global exposures that apply a consistent set of exclusions and are designed to increase holdings in companies that have robust credentials on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. The index is constructed from the parent MSCI Emerging Markets index by first excluding any company involved in controversial, conventional or nuclear weapons, civilian firearms, oil sands, thermal coal, tobacco or recreational cannabis.
