Global equity strategy seeks companies in transition American Century Investments (ACI) has launched a sustainable value equity strategy for clients around the world.
American Century Global Sustainable Value Equity, managed by global value equity CIO Kevin Toney, senior portfolio manager Michael Liss and portfolio manager David Byrns, will seek to invest in 45-75 stocks selected using bottom-up fundamental research from ACI’s sustainable research team and a proprietary sustainability framework.
“The team will use our proprietary improvement pathway framework to identify companies that recognise the importance and value of transforming their business to support a more sustainable economy,” said Byrns.
Head of sustainable investing Sarah Bratton-Hughes said the strategy was not looking for sustainability leaders.
“We are looking for diamonds in the rough – companies that are committed to improving the sustainability of their business,” she said.
