Global warning: the case for low carbon investing, today

  • Hamish Chamberlayne, CFA
    Hamish Chamberlayne, CFA
    Head of Global Sustainable Equities | Portfolio Manager

Hamish Chamberlayne, investment manager for Janus Henderson's global sustainable equity strategy, explains why climate change remains the biggest investment issue of our lifetime. He argues that market forces will drive the transition to a low carbon economy, and will not be derailed by Trump’s political agenda.

​​Key points:

  • The overwhelming scientific consensus is: climate change is real and human activity is the main cause
  • The world community must decarbonise now to limit dangerous global warming
  • With the Paris Accord now ratified, investors must fully understand the consequences that ‘unburnable carbon’ could have on their investments
  • Market forces will drive the transition to a low carbon economy: renewables costs are falling and technologies are advancing rapidly
  • His team sees up to £5 trillion of MSCI World market capitalisation at risk of disruption, as this transition will impact multiple sectors

Important information

Please read the following important information regarding funds related to this article.

Global Sustainable Equity Fund
    Specific risks
  • Shares can lose value rapidly, and typically involve higher risks than bonds or money market instruments. The value of your investment may fall as a result.
  • The Fund follows a sustainable investment approach, which may cause it to be overweight and/or underweight in certain sectors and thus perform differently than funds that have a similar objective but which do not integrate sustainable investment criteria when selecting securities.
  • The Fund may use derivatives with the aim of reducing risk or managing the portfolio more efficiently. However this introduces other risks, in particular, that a derivative counterparty may not meet its contractual obligations.
  • If the Fund holds assets in currencies other than the base currency of the Fund or you invest in a share class of a different currency to the Fund (unless 'hedged'), the value of your investment may be impacted by changes in exchange rates.
  • Securities within the Fund could become hard to value or to sell at a desired time and price, especially in extreme market conditions when asset prices may be falling, increasing the risk of investment losses.
  • The Fund could lose money if a counterparty with which it trades becomes unwilling or unable to meet its obligations to the Fund.
