The Stewardship fund invests in companies listed on the UK stockmarket whose products, services and operations are considered to be of long term benefit to communities both here and overseas.
The investment and ethical approach is autonomous. Thus F&C have a separate ethical committee. Its job is to screen for appropriate investments from an ethical point of view as well as actively engaging with companies regarding their environmental and social policies. It should be noted that the Stewardship family is relatively "dark green". Thus investments in companies involved with armaments, gambling, alcohol and tobacco industries are avoided as far as possible. As a consequence, the managers do not regard financial gain as the sole criterion for investment, but look to wider issues.
Stocks are selected on a bottom up basis. Companies must satisfy three criteria, above average growth rates, business momentum and consistency.
