Quality growth through environmental solutions

Jupiter Green Investment Trust (JGC) invests in companies around the world that are providing solutions to environmental challenges. It aims for capital growth from a portfolio of c 60 companies, chosen through a disciplined, bottom-up investment process with a focus on quality and valuation. The trust is managed by a team at Jupiter Asset Management who also run the UK’s first environmentally focused collective investment fund, Jupiter Ecology. The managers report that their investment universe has expanded considerably as environmental issues have become more mainstream and technological advances have made companies in areas such as renewable energy more competitive. JGC’s small size and closed-end structure allow the managers more flexibility to invest in smaller, less liquid and potentially higher-growth companies than in their larger open-ended mandates, including up to 5% in unlisted stocks.
