Liontrust Sustainable Future UK Growth

Why did we include the Liontrust Sustainable Future UK Growth fund in the 7IM Responsible Choice Balanced Model Portfolio?

The Liontrust Sustainable Future UK Growth fund is a standout performer in the UK equity space. The team have a great process that has been fine-tuned since 2001, using themes to prioritise investments and focus on companies with a quality and growth bias. The fund is supported by a great team of analysts focused on thematic research and is headed up by Peter Michaelis.

Past performance is not a guide to future performance.

Where does the fund fit in the Responsible Investment Spectrum?

Ri Thematic 100

A cleaner, healthier or safer economy

The Liontrust team look to invest in companies which are making a positive contribution to the economy by making it either cleaner, healthier or safer. They do this by investing in 21 different investment themes that are linked to either improved healthcare, better resource efficiency or greater safety and reliance. In many cases the stocks they pick are household names, such as Legal & General or Trainline.

Smurfit Kappa

Smurfit Kappa is a holding in the fund’s ‘delivering a circular materials economy’ theme. Smufit Kappa is the number one cardboard box manufacturer in Europe and is well positioned to benefit from the shift from plastic packaging to recyclable and biodegradable cardboard packaging. Over 75% of their packaging is from recycled sources and 99% of its raw materials have a Chain of Custody certificate, meaning it is from a sustainable source.

Oxford Biomedica

Another great company Liontrust invests in is Oxford Biomedica, which sits in the ‘enabling innovation in healthcare’ theme. Oxford Biomedica specialises in gene therapy, an innovation identified by Liontrust as part of their thematic research. Gene therapy provides the opportunity for a one and done approach to therapy, as opposed to daily medication that is often prescribed indefinitely. With over 20 years of experience, Oxford Biomedica believes it is 2 years ahead of competitors in being able to provide this technology.
