The fund is now called the Jupiter Global Ecology Growth Sicav and the name change became effective in early January. No changes have been made to the fund’s investment policy or strategy.
Commenting on the name change, Thomas said: “The range of investable companies operating in the environmental sector has grown considerably over the past 25 years. While the early pioneers may have been concentrated in Europe and North America, firms have now sprung up across the globe offering innovative solutions to a broadening range of environmental issues including energy efficiency, water infrastructure, waste management, sustainable food production and pollution and environmental control services.
"The fund’s new name captures this expanded realm of opportunities available to the investor.”
The Jupiter Global Ecology Growth Sicav, launched in 2001, with an investment objective to generate long-term capital growth through investment in companies that are responding positively to the challenge of environmental sustainability and climate change.
