Trillium ESG Global Equity Fund Wins Two “Wealth for Good Awards”
ESG Global Equity Fund 20 Years

The Trillium ESG Global Equity Fund is designed to invest primarily in companies Trillium believes are leaders in managing risks and opportunities related to environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria, have above average growth potential, and are reasonably valued.

Investment Process

Trillium believes that the best long-term investments for the Fund are found in companies that have above-average financial characteristics and growth potential, while also contributing towards the goals of a sustainable global economy. Trillium believes that a company’s sound understanding of sustainability principles can demonstrate the qualities of innovation and leadership that support the creation of a distinct competitive advantage and the building of long-term value.  The Fund does not invest in companies that are primarily engaged in fossil fuel production based on a company’s total gross revenue unless the company demonstrates a plan to transition to a low carbon business model that Trillium finds credible.
