The Bank of China has launched the first responsible investment fund. According to the fund managers, the Sustainable Growth Equity Fund aims to capture investment opportunities by assessing companies’ growth potential as well as the sustainability and prudence of their business model. The focus will be on companies that possess core competence, good corporate governance, innovative capabilities as well as a sense of social responsibility.
Given the continued debate about the returns on long established responsible investment funds in the US and Europe, no doubt this fund’s success will be watched with great interest.
