About VNEAX
The Vontobel Global Environmental Equities Fund A is an actively managed mutual fund focused on long-term capital appreciation through investments in global companies that advance environmental sustainability. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its assets to equity securities and equity-like instruments of firms whose products or services meaningfully contribute to sustainability objectives, particularly within sectors such as clean energy infrastructure, resource-efficient industry, clean water, building technology, low emission transportation, and lifecycle management. The portfolio features a diversified global mix, holding positions in both established and emerging markets and accommodating companies of various sizes.
The fund employs a thematic investment strategy, targeting firms whose innovations or operations directly address environmental challenges and promote sustainable development goals. Top portfolio holdings often include leaders in industrials, utilities, technology, and materials, reflecting its focus on solutions to global environmental issues. The fund also incorporates exclusion criteria, seeking to avoid exposure to industries tied to controversial weapons, tobacco, thermal coal, and small arms. Managed by Vontobel Asset Management, the fund plays a specialized role in the financial market as a vehicle for investors looking to align their equity exposure with environmental impact priorities while participating in global equity markets.
