Press Release
The Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 (the Commission) has appointed sustainable investment manager, Osmosis Investment Management, to run an environmentally focused portfolio targeting the world’s most Resource Efficient companies.
Osmosis’s Resource Efficient Core Equity Fund* advocates that the most climate-resilient and efficient corporate business models will benefit from a lower cost of capital and stronger growth fundamentals in the long term.
The Osmosis Core Equity strategy was launched in 2017 and has since attracted over $16** billion in assets. Utilising Osmosis’ proprietary environmental research, which identifies companies that are more resource-efficient in creating economic value than their same-sector peers, the resulting portfolio reduces the carbon, water, and waste intensity by an average of 60% relative to the underlying benchmark.
Anthony Chisnall, Head of Distribution at Osmosis said:
“It has been a great pleasure working with the Commission to understand their objectives and to deliver a strategy which we believe goes above and beyond traditional decarbonisation approaches in addressing both environmental impact and fiduciary responsibility.”
*The Resource Efficient Core Equity Fund is not available to US investors.
**Assets under management and advisory as of 14 October 2024.
