OP-Low-carbon World Fund

 

While fossil fuels won’t be phased out tomorrow, building a business based on them is a significant risk as emission reduction targets become more common due to climate change. The carbon footprint of the OP-Low Carbon World fund is less than half that of the general world index. The fund is intended for investors who seek attractive return potential, are prepared for the risks associated with the stock market and want to exclude fossil fuels from their investment portfolio.

The fund is actively managed. The investment decisions are made by OP Asset Management's experienced portfolio management team, whose stock selections are based on comprehensive company-specific analysis. The fund's investment universe is very broad, as it can invest in companies of various sizes across multiple industries worldwide. This way, your portfolio will be efficiently diversified with a range of companies that are well-positioned as legislation or market mechanisms steer towards low emissions.

OP-Low Carbon World does not invest in companies that deal in fossil fuel. The fund also excludes companies considered harmful to society, such as manufacturers of controversial weapons or tobacco products. Attention is also paid to how the fund's companies are managed. We regularly scrutinize investment targets to examine how companies adhere to international practices related to, for example, taxation or anti-corruption activities.

Why invest in the OP-Low-carbon World fund

  • A straightforward way to add companies to your portfolio whose operations are not based on fossil fuels

  • Global diversification across companies of various sizes in multiple industries provides balance to your portfolio

  • Benefit from the expertise and extensive information resources of an experienced portfolio management team
