Targeting positive outcomes

We aim to improve the world by investing with care. Our active approach to managing money considers a broad range of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors that can have an impact on our investments. This is why we engage directly with the businesses we invest in. Supporting them in their mission to improve people’s lives, make society stronger and protect our planet. Helping others to become greener, more responsible and sustainable.

We’re dedicated to offering quality investment solutions and investing in the right way, supporting our ambitions for a more positive future. Not just for our customers and clients but for our planet too. We all want to create a brighter future for the next generation.

The value and income of a fund's assets will go down as well as up. This will cause the value of your investment to fall as well as rise and you may get back less than you originally invested.

We are unable to give financial advice. If you are unsure about the suitability of your investment, speak to your financial adviser.

Responsible Investing

As an active manager, Neuberger Berman has a long-standing belief that material environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors are an important driver of long-term investment returns from both an opportunity and a risk-mitigation perspective. We also understand that for many clients the impact of their portfolios is an important consideration in conjunction with investment performance. We consider ESG factors across our investment platform and offer a range of solutions to meet client objectives. We firmly believe that attention to material ESG factors helps make us smarter investors, and that engagement with companies on ESG topics helps them perform better for their investors and for society.
