FP WHEB Sustainability Impact
Overview
The FP WHEB Sustainability Impact Fund seeks capital growth over the long term by investing globally in companies providing solutions to critical social and environmental challenges.
The global economy is in the early stages of a transition to a zero-carbon, nature-positive and more sustainable system. Technologies and business models that stabilise the climate and support biodiversity are becoming more prevalent, while demand grows for better healthcare and healthier lifestyles to support ageing populations.
The FP WHEB Sustainability Impact Fund invests in these industries of the future, targeting high-quality, innovative businesses able to convert this demand into profits and attractive long-term returns.
The Fund has adopted the Sustainability Focus label under the UK's Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR), reflecting an objective to invest in assets that pursue positive environmental and social outcomes alongside financial return.
Understanding impact is increasingly viewed as a third dimension of investment expertise, alongside the established disciplines of assessing investment risk and return.
A proprietary Impact Engine evaluates the intensity of the positive impact created by each company's products and services, providing an overall impact intensity rating. This sits alongside fundamental quality analysis, which assesses business model strength, financial management and the handling of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues.
Why invest in a sustainability impact fund?
- Nine investment themes – Companies are selected across five environmental themes (Cleaner Energy, Environmental Services, Resource Efficiency, Sustainable Transport and Water Management) and four social themes (Education, Health, Safety and Well-being), capturing a broad opportunity set within the sustainability transition.
- Quality and impact – A proprietary Impact Engine and fundamental quality analysis work together to identify companies that are both genuinely additive and financially robust.
- Concentrated global exposure – A focused portfolio of 40 to 60 holdings provides genuine conviction while maintaining diversification across themes and regions.
- Clear sustainability credentials – The Sustainability Focus label under the UK's SDR regime provides a transparent, regulated framework for investors seeking measurable impact alongside financial return.
- Active ownership – Ongoing engagement with portfolio company management supports continued progress on both social and environmental outcomes.
The FP WHEB Sustainability Impact Fund could be suitable for investors seeking broad exposure to the sustainability transition across both environmental and social themes, or as a core holding within a sustainable or impact allocation.
