Hanson Sustainable Income Fund

Sustainable Investing

The fund is committed to a sustainable investment policy not just because we think the widespread use of such a policy would enhance the world we live in but, also, because we believe that such a policy will enhance long-term investment returns. Put simply, we believe firms that act in a sustainable and socially responsible manner are less exposed to business risk and are more likely to seize the opportunities of tomorrow.
