Investment Objective/Strategy
The Acuity Social Values Global Equity aims to provide long-term capital growth by investing in a globally diversified portfolio of primarily large-sized companies which fit the Fund’s concept of social values; companies that achieve excellence in environmental management, have positive labour practices, do not significantly contribute to human rights abuses in other countries, and do not derive more than 10% of revenues from the production of nuclear power, weapons, alcohol or tobacco.
The Portfolio Advisor, Acuity Investment Management Inc., seeks companies with proven management, proprietary/strategic advantages, financial strength, above average sales or earnings growth potential, and favourable valuation levels. Social criteria upon which companies are evaluated include excellence in environmental management, positive labour practices, involvement in promoting human rights in other countries, and the avoidance of nuclear power, weapons, alcohol, tobacco or gambling as major sources of revenue.
