Overview

What Does the Pool Invest In?

Equity securities of highly profitable and dominant global businesses with attractively valued share prices

Businesses who are leading their industry in improving environmental and social outcomes for their industries and the communities they operate in.

Companies who benefit from a transition to a more sustainable future by creating products that helpothers reduce their environmental impact.

How Do We Invest?

We believe the best businesses acquired at prices that are reasonable in relation to what we expect to receive in return make the best investments.

We believe the best investments are companies with durable businesses that are difficult to live without, difficult to replicate, and difficult to compete with.

We believe companies that are making substantial positive changes in their industries and the communities they operate in are the best positioned for future success.
