Climate-Aligned Investing

Climate-aligned investing recognises the role of the whole economy in moving to a low-carbon economy.

Introduction to Climate-Aligned Investing

Fulcrum has made a firm commitment to being a responsible investor, with sustainability representing one of our five core values. We recognise the challenges facing the natural environment and believe that financial markets have an important role to play to create a more sustainable world.

In particular, we regard climate change as one of the largest risks facing investors over the medium- to long-term, and we believe that climate-aligned investing can boost risk-adjusted returns, especially relative to an approach that minimises backward-looking carbon emissions. Moreover, climate-aligned investing recognises the role of the whole economy in moving to a low-carbon economy and takes into account the cost of transition for each sector.
