A world of opportunity – it's happening at Henderson

Ethical funds, green funds, social funds, socially responsible investment funds. Call it what you will. At Henderson, we use the term Sustainable & Responsible Investment (SRI) to describe our approach to investing which takes explicit account of environmental, social & governance (ESG) issues in the investment process.

Henderson is one of the world’s leading providers of SRI funds with over 30 years experience. We currently manage approximately GBP 726.4 million (as of 31st December 2009) in SRI assets, across a range of pooled (including the Global Care range of funds) and segregated funds for clients including pension funds, local authorities, charities and individuals.

Our unique SRI investment process allows us to achieve long term financial value for our clients by:

Identifying new investment opportunities driven by global sustainability challenges
Empowering investors to make choices about how, and where to invest
Responding effectively to our investors’ values
Uncovering environmental, social & governance (ESG) business risks and opportunities not revealed through traditional financial analysis
Contributing to the creation of an environmentally sustainable, and socially responsibly economy and society
