In this episode of Hargreaves Lansdown’s meet the manager, Joseph Hill is joined in the studio by Jack Willis, Co-manager of the Liontrust Sustainable Future Corporate Bond fund.
Willis talks about how the fund’s sustainable approach differs to those employed by traditional corporate bond funds, opportunities in the market at the moment as well as prospects for the water sector.
Watch to hear who has influenced Willis’ approach to investing, and how he switches off outside of work.
This video isn’t personal advice. These are the views of the fund manager and not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any investment.
All investments can fall as well as rise in value, so you could get back less than you invest. If you’re not sure if an investment is right for you, ask for financial advice.
Past performance isn’t a guide to the future. Yields are variable and income is not guaranteed.
The fund can invest in high yield bonds and derivatives, which add risk.
Charges can be taken from capital, which can increase the yield but reduces the potential for capital growth.
Our analysis suggests that this fund’s carbon intensity is higher than we would have expected given its sustainability credentials. Companies with higher carbon intensity could face increased scrutiny from investors and regulators in future. We are engaging with Liontrust on this topic.
