Responsible Investing

Each Sustainable Fund has a critical focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, which we're able to offer to help mitigate the impact of ESG risks on your financial well-being.

ESG Oversight

To deliver high ESG standards, each underlying fund is screened to ensure it continuously meets established sustainability thresholds, as measured by Morningstar® Sustainability Ratings™.²

Institutional-Quality Management

Built and actively managed by Guardian Capital LP, the Sustainable Funds use sophisticated investment tools and techniques seeking to deliver optimal investment outcomes.
