Sustainable funds face a power struggle [UK]

Fund management groups including Jupiter, Aviva Investors and F&C…wrote to the government to demand more opportunities for the private sector to get involved in sustainable projects. They argued that many private investors want to be able to invest in green projects…A number of ethical funds have sprung up in recent years…They include funds that avoid certain sectors…as well as those that actively invest in areas such as new technologies to avert climate change…[S]ustainable investment experts insist that green investing should be viewed strictly as a long-term project…Still, many ethical funds are in the top quartile for performance over the past year against their non-ethical peers. [Also refers to Eaga, Henderson Global Care Growth (Henderson Global Investor, part of AMP Group), Holden & Partners, HSBC, Legal & General, Owens Corning, Schroder Global Climate Change, Tesco, Towry Law, Vodafone]
