It is our belief that investing for your future goes hand in hand with trying to make a more positive impact for those we care about. It is the view of St. James's Place, a leading UK Wealth Management company, that engagement is a key way to help encourage the transition to a lower carbon economy.
By investing into businesses and engaging with their management boards as a key shareholder, the St. James' s Place fund managers can use their voice aiming to bring about change. All of St. James's Place funds are signatories of the United Nations Principles of Responsible Investment, and collective action from shareholders can be a powerful lever to encourage companies to operate more sustainably.
Engagement can create long-term value for shareholders, encouraging firms to adopt practices that aim to contribute to a more sustainable global economy. Not only is this a responsible way to invest, it presents the opportunity to use your money to encourage better practice, it has the potential to put investors in a stronger position to benefit themselves, given the fact that the companies they have invested in over the long term may be better positioned to make a more positive impact moving into the future.

The value of an investment with St. James's Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds you select and the value can therefore go down as well as up. You may get back less than you invested.
