Sustainable Portfolio Management
2020 report
15 June 2020
From Covid-19 to climate change, we’re seeing global, social and environmental issues reshape the world we live in. While it’s easy to feel exhausted by the scale of these problems, there’s hope in the most powerful tool we have for tackling the many daunting challenges we face - artificial intelligence (AI).
Our Fund Manager’s letter looks at how the sustainability issues we face as a planet offer some extraordinary opportunities to the companies that are helping to address them, and to us as investors.
In this report, we explore the transition from traditional to precision agriculture; improving healthcare outcomes; and dematerialisation. In particular, we look to emphasise the opportunities that artificial intelligence and advanced technologies present to each of these challenges.
