Seeking solutions to environmental challenges

Jupiter Green Investment Trust (JGC) seeks to achieve capital growth by investing in companies that provide solutions to environmental challenges. It is managed by members of the environmental and sustainability team at Jupiter, which launched the UK’s first environmental fund, Jupiter Ecology, in 1988. The portfolio is global and multi-cap, although because of a tilt towards smaller companies it uses the MSCI World Small Cap Index as a performance benchmark. Absolute returns have been positive over all periods from one month to 10 years (annualised for periods longer than one year), and an active discount control mechanism aims to keep the shares trading close to NAV.
