Launch of environmental solutions fund

Ethical Investors has recently been involved in the creation of a new Environmental Fund of Funds, launched at the beginning of February this year. It is called the Way Green Portfolio Fund, and is managed by Vestra Wealth, via Way Fund Managers. The fund will invest in a range of investment funds that specialise in all aspects of environmental technology, protection and climate change mitigation.  The brochure from Way is available to download from the link above, and the fund is now available as an ISA.

Over the last year or two an increasing number of new specialised funds have been launched with a proactive environmental focus. These tend to come from smaller, boutique firms seeking to offer a new exposure to new markets and developing technologies. For advisers the tricky part is knowing which fund to recommend from the available range and then how to incorporate new funds as they reach the market.  A fund of funds offers key benefits; firstly, a manager selects the individual funds that make up the holdings within the overall pool of money, actively trading to include the best performing funds. Secondly, as new funds are launched, they can be included within the fund if their financial and ecological credentials are deemed appropriate.
