The Responsible Ratings Index (RRI) was launched in 2020 to provide a one-stop shop for readers looking for the top-rated ESG funds. Using research from our in-house team at Bonhill Intelligence, ESG Clarity has collated the sustainable ratings from houses such as Morningstar, MSCI and Square Mile to find the best-rated sustainable funds.
The RRI has been rebalanced, revealing the new top funds as rated by our partners.
