Our sustainabilty-focused investment solution
Our TAM Sustainable World service provides investors with a range of sustainability-focused investment portfolios designed to protect and grow their wealth in a socially responsible manner.
Sustainability-focused refers to investing in a way that contributes to a sustainable economy. A sustainable economy is one that is resilient and provides a good quality of life for everybody. It stays within the limits of the planet and helps keep global warming well within the below 2°C threshold. There are various frameworks through which to invest to contribute to these outcomes, such as sustainable impact, green and thematic investing approaches, alongside strong stakeholder engagement.
Investing responsibly has evolved drastically in the last few decades. Beginning primarily as ethical investing, where funds would solely screen out unsustainability at the sector level. As the market has evolved, with growing awareness of the mounting issues humankind faces, asset managers have developed a series of innovative approaches enabling clients to generate genuine positive impact by investing in companies that are tackling the world’s biggest challenges.
TAM has run sustainability-focused portfolios for a decade. Our policy has always been to avoid controversy, look for strong governance, conduct negative screening of unsustainable/unethical practices, and to analyse the fund providers’ commitment. We build on this consistently, moving towards strategies encompassing a focus on sustainability, in line with the broadening investment pool and increased depth of sustainability credentials and research. Moving forward, the portfolios look only to include funds demonstrating industry-leading sustainability or, where appropriate, impact characteristics, assessing where we believe positive change can be generated and avoiding those areas where we are not yet convinced.
Clarity AI is an award-winning state-of-the-art sustainability assessment tool which aims to quantify ESG characteristics from negative exclusions to impact, using seven providers to peel back what each fund is investing in at a constituent stock level. This innovation arms us with our own raw data to make sure the funds in our industry are accurately presenting their sustainability credentials and offers us a platform to engage with the funds in which we invest for our clients. The long-term goal is to increase transparency of impact generation and ESG credentials for our clients, as well as incrementally increasing the sustainable credentials of our portfolios.
