Natixis Investment Managers launches range of ESG Fund of Funds

News Team, 25/06/2020

Natixis Investment Managers (Natixis IM) today announced that it is launching a new range of ESG fund of funds.

The Lux UCITS range consists of the Natixis ESG Conservative, Moderate and Dynamic funds, each offering diversified, multi-asset exposure to meet the varying risk requirements of investors. At launch the range will have exposure to 14 funds from 5 of Natixis affiliated managers.

The funds are managed by the Multi Asset Portfolio Management team within Natixis Investment Solutions. This team currently manages EUR 57 billion of which EUR 5.4 billion is already focused on ESG-specific mandates. The lead portfolio manager is Nicolas Bozetto who has more than 12 years of experience running ESG related mandates.

The investment process starts by filtering for appropriate funds using a quantitative screen from an independent third-party provider, before qualitative assessments are done from both an ESG perspective and a classic fund selection angle. Finally, the Solutions team uses its own in-house risk management and tactical asset allocation process to manage the portfolio to meet defined risk & return objectives.

Harald Walkate, Head of CSR & ESG at Natixis Investment Managers said, “We have launched a new ESG fund range at a time when we believe the importance of ESG has never been more visible. We believe in ESG that makes a difference by helping to identify risk and drive financial performance.”
