US companies will have to meet sustainability criteria set by JP Morgan Asset Management (JPMAM) to make it into the firm’s latest sustainable fund.
JPMAM launched the US Sustainable Equities fund saying it will invest in companies that are deemed the most sustainable by the firm’s investment team.
Portfolio construction will be guided by a roughly 20-strong team using proprietary research that includes a survey of around 70 questions. Companies should be able to demonstrate strong governance, superior management of environmental and social issues, and have durable economic models.
JP Morgan Funds – US Sustainable Equity Fund (Sicav) will be managed by David Small, director of US equity research, and Danielle Hines, associate director of US equity research.
