Munro Climate Change Leaders Fund

A portfolio of climate winners that will help enable the decarbonisation of the planet; companies that are best positioned to champion and win from this significant structural change.

Fund Overview

Climate investment – a major structural change – is at the start of its s-curve, with many new climate technologies still early in the adoption phase and therefore having the potential for significant growth. The Fund aims to create a portfolio of climate winners that help enable the decarbonisation of the planet.

The strategy targets listed companies across a range of industries and countries whose earnings prospects should improve with the increased investment in, and focus on, decarbonisation. The portfolio is a concentrated, long-only portfolio of 15 to 25 companies.

The investment process, honed over 15 years, is based on the ability to identify sustainable growth trends that are underappreciated and mispriced by the market, and the resulting winners in the stock universe.

Munro has initially identified four trends of interest related to the world’s move toward a net-zero carbon emissions goal:

  • Clean Energy – companies at the forefront of renewable energy generation covering wind, solar and renewable diesel.
  • Clean Transport – companies benefiting from the growth of electric vehicles, battery technology, and alternative transportation.
  • Energy Efficiency – companies at the forefront of insulation products, electrical switches, lighting and metering technology.
  • Circular Economy – companies most likely to benefit from efforts to improve recycling, alternative packaging materials and management of wastewater.

These trends of interest may change over time, based on the investment team’s qualitative and quantitative assessments.
