Investment Philosophy & Process
The Clean Environment Equity Fund utilizes the same rigorous investment process used in Acuity’s mainstream funds to identify reasonably priced growth securities with long-term capital appreciation potential. The Clean Environment Equity Fund then focuses on specific investment opportunities within four key themes where innovative solutions are being applied to critical environmental issues. This offers investors exposure to high-growth environmental themes and catalysts. The catalyst is usually a technology or product that offers a definable environmental advantage that has not been reflected in the share price. These themes are:
- Energy and Power Solutions
- Water and Wastewater Solutions
- Waste Management and Pollution Control
- Environment, Health and Safety
