Climate change is the defining challenge of our time, reshaping our environment and disrupting the foundations of the global economy. Yet, it also presents a compelling opportunity for investors. The demand for technologies and solutions that address climate change is growing rapidly, and the most effective innovations are gaining a competitive advantage. The OP-Climate fund offers you the opportunity to invest in companies around the world that are actively combating global warming and its effects.
The fund's assets are allocated to global stock markets both in emerging and developed economies. Investment targets include companies that produce energy-saving technology, renewable energy sources, or solutions for water management and recycling, for example. OP-Climate is an actively managed fund: an experienced portfolio management team responds to market changes and makes all the investment decisions on your behalf. Focusing on stocks raises the fund’s return potential but also exposes it to the volatility of the stock market. Therefore, the fund is best suited for investors who can tolerate the ups and downs typical of stock investments.
OP-Climate aims for attractive long-term returns. Therefore, only companies prepared for a changing world are included in the fund. All the fund's equity investments are sustainable. The fund also follows the EU's Paris Climate Agreement and excludes companies such as coal producers from its investments. Additionally, we regularly screen investment targets to ensure they are managed according to good governance practices. This means, for example, complying with international anti-corruption norms.
