LGT Capital Partners has launched the Impact Equity Global fund.

The fund invests in an equity portfolio of 25 to 40 stocks with sector exposures including industrials, healthcare and information technology. Stocks include high-impact companies that follow three impact themes of climate action, sustainable industries and communities, and health and well-being. It is classified as an Article 9 fund under the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation. The MSCI AC World Index serves as the fund’s benchmark.

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.”
