Investment Philosophy

As the world population exceeds seven billion and rises in affluence, concerns about resource scarcity, pollution, energy security and climate change are escalating. Policy makers and investors worldwide are increasingly facing up to the need to develop global resources in a sustainable manner.

Environmental markets offer investors a compelling opportunity to tap into superior growth over the next decade and beyond. Strong sector drivers, a broad, diverse investment universe and a high prevalence of company mis‐pricing create multiple opportunities for alpha generation. Impax believes there is scope for a focused team to identify these opportunities and build strong, risk-adjusted portfolios.
