Responsible Investing

Each Sustainable Fund has a critical focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, which we are 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.

Equities

Stocks/shares that represent an ownership stake in a company. Largely used as vehicles to achieve capital growth. Income

Primarily refers to investment income earned from bonds. These positions tend to be more conservative than equities, and therefore are better positioned to preserve capital. Thematic ESG Assets

Investment exposure in assets of either equities or fixed income that are directly focused on improving social or environmental sustainability, such as equities focused on clean energy or green bonds. Real Assets

Refers to equity investments that provide exposure to “hard” or tangible assets, like real estate and infrastructure. These types of securities can be beneficial diversifiers as they tend to perform differently than stocks or bonds. Liquid Alternatives

Investment funds with exposure to equities or fixed income, whereby the portfolio manager is afforded considerable flexibility to utilize certain sophisticated investment tools such as derivatives and leverage, often as a way to manage volatility and/or enhance the level of income earned.
