About the Fund

The Impax Sustainable Leaders Fund (the Fund) seeks to achieve sustainable, above market returns over the longer term by investing globally in companies active in Environmental Markets. The Fund’s investable universe of “Sustainable Leaders” is defined as companies with at least 20% of revenue, profits or capital employed in environmental markets, determined through Impax’s proprietary environmental markets taxonomy.

Powerful drivers – growing population, rising living standards and finite natural resources – have triggered above average growth for a diverse set of companies focused on resource efficiency.
While environmental impact is not an objective of the Fund, the Fund invests in companies providing environmental solutions and net carbon reductions which will help lead the transition to a sustainable global economy.
The Fund employs a research-intensive bottom-up stock selection process to find the leading companies in increasingly important global environmental markets.
