The Epworth Climate Stewardship Fund for Charities allows UK charities to invest in a way that tackles the climate emergency while still aiming for above market returns.
It’s called the Epworth Climate Stewardship Fund because we are stewards of our investors’ capital and this is reflected in how we invest. In this case, we created a climate investment solution that considers the impact that all of the companies we invest in have on our planet.
The Epworth Climate Stewardship Fund for Charities will seek income and capital investment growth over a minimum period of 5 years through investing mainly in UK companies.
The Fund aims to have a carbon footprint substantially below that of the FTSE All Share Index. It will look to invest with Christian ethics, seeking out companies that contribute to the transition to a lower carbon economy and engaging with portfolio companies to encourage action that reduces the risk of climate change.
It will exclude companies that extract or refine fossil fuels, those companies that have a material involvement in supplying them with goods or services, as well as those that do not meet our bespoke Christian ethical screening process.
“This Fund tackles the climate emergency head-on, letting UK charity trustees invest in a way that will help save the planet while targeting good long term investment returns.”
David Palmer,
Chief Executive, Epworth
