LGT Capital launches impact equity fund

The LGT CP Impact Equity Global fund follows three impact themes of climate action, sustainable industries and communities, and health and well-being.

The fund invests in an equity portfolio of 25 to 40 stocks with exposures focusing on industrials, healthcare and information technology. The MSCI AC World Index serves as the fund’s benchmark and it is classified as an Article 9 fund under the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation.

Marc Gonzales, Principal at LGT Capital Partners, said, “After launching our impact private equity strategies a few years ago, we are pleased to now introduce an impact strategy in the public equity domain. We believe that public equities can help to unlock untapped impact potential, as the major transitions required within an economic, social and environmental context cannot be realized by private markets alone. The strategy is backed by the Princely Family of Liechtenstein and our employees, who invest in the same portfolio as our clients.”
