Rathbones Asset Management has received the Sustainability Focus label under the Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR) for four funds in its Rathbone Greenbank Multi-Asset Portfolio range.
The approved funds are the Rathbone Greenbank Total Return Portfolio, Rathbone Greenbank Defensive Growth Portfolio, Rathbone Greenbank Strategic Growth Portfolio, and Rathbone Greenbank Dynamic Growth Portfolio.
Since SDR was introduced, the total number of funds marketed as sustainable has dropped, with Rathbones Asset Management now providing a suite of labelled funds across core asset classes.
Tom Carroll (pictured), CEO of Rathbones Asset Management, said: “We are proud of the hard work we have done to ensure SDR recognition for our funds, putting us in the leading tier of asset management companies for the number of labelled funds relative to AUM.
“At a time when it is fashionable to talk down sustainability, we are pleased to be able to demonstrate our long-term commitment to this area of the market.
“We know from experience that companies with robust governance and strong cultures benefit our clients in the long-term and we are now able to offer clients a suite of labelled funds across multi-asset, equity and fixed income, which means that through Rathbones Asset Management, clients can achieve sustainable exposure across core asset classes.”
Carroll added: “Rathbones has an enviable reputation and longevity in sustainable investment and we continue to value the contribution from across the whole Group, particularly the team at Greenbank, to ensuring a robust sustainability framework which has enabled the successful adoption of these labels.”
