The asset allocation and risk-adjusted targets of the new proposition, according to SFIM, will be akin to its mainstream portfolios but with low overlap.

The low overlap is said to be the result of fund managers having to overcome varied obstacles, including governance approach and impact methodologies.

SFIM CEO and head of investments Graham Wainer said: “Equity investments will constitute the largest position in GSIP, but we are also excited by the opportunities within fixed income, which has been largely overlooked by ESG investors to date.

“Bond investors have longer time horizons than their equity peers, and more nuanced relationships with management teams and, critically, with governments. This will be an important asset class for GSIP.”
