Vontobel AM makes ESG push with global equity fund

Vontobel Asset Management's Quality Growth Boutique has launched the Vontobel fund - Global Equity X, to meet the growing demand from investors with ethical considerations. The fund closely follows the boutique's long-established Global Equity Strategy, but excludes investments in companies engaged in the manufacture of tobacco products, fossil fuel extraction, controversial weapons and adult entertainment. The new fund enables investors, who have investment guidelines driven by regulation and ethical preferences, to benefit from an existing strategy with a time-tested track record. "...
