The new strategy will be overseen by Simon Clements and Peter Michaelis.
Commenting on the new offering, Liontrust CEO John Ions said: “There is growing demand for sustainable investing as an increasing number of people care about how they make their money as well as how much money they make.
“This is an ever-more competitive area and we are enjoying rising interest in our team and their funds because of their rigorous investment process, 18 years of managing sustainable investments and the successful long-term track record.
