"There is no compromise needed on performance."
That's what global investment manager Schroders is banking on with its new Schroder International Selection Fund, which aims to generate strong long-term returns and a positive impact on society by investing in companies that bring innovation and solutions to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, Bloomberg reports.
The fund, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange, will invest in companies "whose technology, scientific expertise, or market leadership bring prowess and innovation to address the UN Sustainable Development Goals," the company says in a press release.
