Funds investing responsibly

Why invest responsibly?

Positive impact

Unsustainable, outmoded businesses are unlikely to change quickly enough or willingly. By investing in companies which are making a positive impact, we can help to make a greater positive impact on society.

Stewardship and ESG

The assessment of a broad range of factors which do, or could, have an impact on value, including those related to environmental, social and governance (ESG) drivers.

Engagement

Engagement is a core element of our approach and one of the means by which we develop our understanding of companies, raise issues with management and monitor subsequent developments.

Our responsible funds

Artemis considers impact and investing according to ESG principles as essential parts of fund management. Some of our funds have specific ESG objectives.
