CCLA, the UK’s largest charity investment manager, has launched the Better World Global Equity Fund to the UK retail market.

Seeded with £230m, the fund is managed by James Ayre and Charlotte Ryland, CCLA’s co-heads of investments and aims to provide a total return over the long-term and invests its assets in global companies with strong long-term business models, positive free cash flow generation and are positioned to benefit from secular trends.

It mirrors CCLA’s successful global equity strategy offered to its 30,000 charity clients since 2007.

Jasper Berens, head of client relationships and distribution, commented: “I am thrilled to be bringing the success enjoyed by CCLA’s not-for-profit clients to the wider wealth, intermediary and retail market. This offering will appeal to those investors seeking good performance combined with a genuine and authentic approach to ESG and sustainable investing.

“CCLA is different in that our approach to sustainability is applied across everything we do and not just at an individual fund level, this allows us to have a greater positive impact. It’s what we call ‘good investment’.”
