The TAM Net Zero Commitment is part of our wider sustainability mission, which demonstrates our promise to reduce our environmental impact and inspire others to do the same. We are a proud certified Carbon Neutral and Carbon Reduced Organisation, achieved by offsetting our annual carbon footprint which we are reducing every year, working towards the ultimate goal of net zero emissions.
We build portfolios to drive positive environmental and social outcomes that you can be proud of, within a framework that works for you. We aim to unlock these opportunities for all, empowering everyone to make a difference, in a way that is:
Affordable
In a world where everything costs more, we work hard to keep the cost of your investments as low as we can without giving up the high-quality hallmark which we are known.
Accessible
Keeping you up to date on our latest thinking is so important, that’s why TAM aim to bring these fantastic investments to life through our sustainability blog as well as a full breakdown of all your investments.
Achievable
We know everyone prefers a smooth journey and one which doesn’t forget that your financial returns are critical in everything we do. Given that, we invest from right across the global stock and bond market to deliver a portfolio blended to account for the short-, medium- and long-term life of your cash.
Appropriate
TAM offer five portfolios, all taking on different levels of risk, in our bid to make sustainable investing fit for all.
Aligned
Most importantly, we build our portfolios to align with our investors’ financial goals.
Take a look under the hood! Below we list the funds within the TAM Sustainable World Portfolios, and how each is aligned to the Sustainable Development Goals.
