Premier Miton renames equity funds as ESG

Premier Miton Investors has renamed two of its equity funds to reflect its focus on sustainability.

The Premier Global Alpha Growth fund is to become the Premier Miton Global Sustainable Growth fund and the Premier Global Optimum Income fund will become the Premier Miton Global Sustainable Optimum Income fund. The funds include exposure to companies in sectors such as wind, solar and emerging energy sources.

Neil Birrell, chief investment officer at Premier Miton, added: “We are delighted with the way Duncan Goodwin is working with his investment team and our head of responsible investing, Helene Winch. Together we have created a new sustainable equity growth investment strategy, based on years of fund management experience.

“We are now able to offer our clients two more specialist sustainable funds, the Premier Miton Global Sustainable Growth fund and Premier Miton Global Sustainable Optimum Income fund, alongside the continued integration of ESG factors and risks into the overall investment approach for our other funds.”
