Full Credential Description
Aon launched the Aon Global Impact Fund in September 2020, addressing the growing demand among pension scheme trustees for sustainable investment portfolios. The fund was developed in response to new regulatory requirements and a shift in sentiment among scheme members regarding the alignment of their investments with social and environmental goals. The Aon Global Impact Fund focuses on investing in companies that contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), tackling issues such as climate change, access to quality education, affordable housing, financial inclusion, healthcare innovation, and renewable energy growth. The fund has already attracted £100 million in assets under management, demonstrating its appeal and effectiveness in meeting the needs of clients seeking to align their investment strategies with broader societal impacts. Aon's Responsible Investment team emphasized that the fund is designed to evolve continuously, reflecting the latest investment analysis and ideas, ensuring clients are engaged with a market-leading solution. This tailored approach not only aims to generate long-term capital growth but also to make a positive impact on society and the planet, thereby addressing the specific niche issues faced by clients in the pension sector.
