Capital at risk
Global Alpha Paris Aligned Ethically Restricted
We identify companies with the potential to deliver superior earnings growth while keeping emissions consistent with the Paris Agreement on climate change.
Recognising diversity
An ambitious approach to investing in responsible growth companies from across the spectrum of opportunity, consistent with addressing the climate crisis. We are flexible and open-minded, recognising the diverse ways in which growth can be achieved.
Global Alpha: our philosophy
Investment manager Helen Xiong introduces Global Alpha, reflecting on the exciting opportunities ahead.
Patient, engaged ownership
We aim to identify companies which can grow their earnings at a superior rate to the market over sustained periods, where this potential is not reflected in the price. As share prices are ultimately driven by earnings growth, this approach underpins our objective to deliver returns 2 to 3 per cent per annum ahead of the benchmark over rolling five-year periods before the deduction of fees.
The strategy also commits to maintaining a Weighted Average Greenhouse Gas Intensity lower than the MSCI ACWI EU Paris Aligned Requirements Index and excludes companies which fail to meet our responsible behaviour criteria.
A truly global portfolio
Our philosophy is to invest long-term in well-managed businesses with sustainable competitive advantages. We embrace diversity, splitting the portfolio across three growth profiles – compounders, disruptors and capital allocators – which exploit different inefficiencies.
Each holding is analysed to ensure consistency with the low-carbon transition. The resulting portfolio of about 90 holdings represents the most attractive opportunities from across the growth spectrum.
The 2020s must be the decisive decade of action on the climate crisis, and there will unquestionably be greater discussion on the need to align funds with a 1.5C warming scenario.
