Sustainable Investing

Based on rigorous financial analysis, sustainable investing applies additional environmental or social criteria to the selection of potential investments. This additional level of analysis allows Acuity to identify hidden value and risks that are not necessarily recognized fully in the investment community. Those companies that perform well across this broader range of criteria are also more likely to have strong business models over the long term. In addition, sustainable investing allows investors to meet their financial objectives while staying true to their own values.

As a pioneer in this field, Acuity Investment Management has assessed the market value implications of environmental issues for over a decade within its Acuity Clean Environment family of Mutual Funds. With the launch of the Acuity Social Values Mutual funds in 2000, Acuity now offers a vehicle that allows investors to apply wider social criteria to the investment decision process.
