Global Equities Fund

Impact Investment that cares for people and planet

Support large sustainable companies

The Triodos Global Equities Impact Fund is a Global Equity fund that supports large multinational companies in their move to more sustainable products and services. If large multinational companies begin to move in a more sustainable direction even one step at a time - the wider impact will be significant.

Large companies are often lower risk than small and medium sized companies, however they tend to have less potential for growth.

The fund spreads risk across regions and sectors, but please remember that all investments will rise and fall, so you could get back less than you put in.

We collaborate to achieve a sustainable future

We can’t achieve a more sustainable future alone, so we collaborate with the companies we screen and invest in to promote and encourage sustainable practices.

We use the voting rights associated with our shareholdings to ensure that decisions around financial profit are never made at the expense of people or planet.

We’re a global impact investor

More than ever, the world needs investments that make a positive impact, and impact investing plays an increasingly important role in the transition to a fairer and more sustainable world.

For over 30 years Triodos Investment Management have been investing for impact and have in-depth knowledge and expertise in making money work for people and planet. We have €5.7 billion in assets under management, all directly contributing to a more sustainable future.

There are lots of different approaches to ethical investing. Here’s how we do it.

Available within a tax-efficient Stocks & Shares ISA
Total transparency about the companies selected for investment
Invest from as little as £25 per month, or a lump sum or top up from £250
Transparent charging structure

Before investing it’s important to consider the level of risk you are comfortable with.

The Impact funds invest exclusively in stock market listed companies, which are generally considered to be higher risk and offer the potential for greater losses and returns than other asset classes, such as investing in property or our cash savings products.

Investments should be held for the long term (e.g 5 years +) as they can go down as well as up in value and you may not get back the amount you originally invested.

The benefits of an ISA depend on your individual circumstances and tax rules may change in the future.

Investments are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme or the Dutch Investor Compensation Scheme.

See how the Global Equities Impact Fund might perform over specific time periods (known as the ‘term’) in three different scenarios. The scenarios are:

‘If markets perform better’ - an optimistic estimation, based on higher than typical investment returns.
‘Projected value’ - a balanced estimation, based on typical investment returns.
‘If markets perform worse’ - a cautious estimation, based on lower than typical investment returns.

The aim is to help you make informed investment decisions and understand how the different scenarios could impact returns.

It’s easy and straightforward to use:

Select your initial investment amount (and a monthly investment amount if you’d like to) as well as the number of years (term) you’d like to see the potential return over.
Click ‘Calculate projections’ and the graph will then show what this could be worth over time in the three different scenarios described above.

A more detailed explanation of how the scenarios are calculated can be seen on the 'i' button available after you have calculated your projections.

See below for more information on the Annual Service Charge and Ongoing Charges Figure, including examples of estimated charges and a more in-depth explanation of how your charges will be paid.

Annual service charge - paid by you quarterly

The Annual Service Charge is tiered, so customers who hold more than £250,000 in either their Triodos Impact Investment Account or Stocks and Shares ISA will pay a lower percentage on the investment balance over this amount.

Holdings in either a Triodos Impact Investment Account or Stocks and Shares ISA	Percentage charged per annum
The balance of holdings up to and including £250,000.00	0.40%
The balance of holdings £250,000.01 and over	0.20%

The Annual Service Charge (ASC):

is a charge that is collected by Triodos Bank UK to cover costs of providing our investment service, including administration costs.
is expressed as an annual percentage but calculated and paid quarterly, based on the average value of your holding across the previous quarter.
is paid from money in the linked Cash Account or by selling shares if there isn’t enough cash available (for more information see ‘How can I pay for my Annual Service Charge?’). We do this on the first Calendar Day of a new quarter. The sale of shares to cover the Annual Service Charge is classified as a disposal for Capital Gains Tax purposes, so may need to be declared to HMRC (unless in a Stocks and Shares ISA).

Ongoing Charges Figure - deducted from the fund daily and not paid separately by you

The Ongoing Charges Figure (OCF):

is the ongoing costs of running the funds, also known as the Total Expense Ratio or TER. The OCF includes the fund managers Annual Management Charge and other expenses of running the fund, such as the board of directors and audit fees. The Annual Management Charge is the charge taken by Triodos Investment Management to select investments based on their sustainable and financial performance.
is expressed as an annual percentage and calculated and deducted from the fund daily. The charge is reflected in the value of the fund and you do not need to pay for it separately.
can be found in the Key Investor Information Document (KIID) and may vary.
includes the cost of converting between sterling and euros when buying and selling, which is charged at 0.2% of the exchange rate used (this fee is not applied directly to individual investments, it is shared by all euro and sterling investors in the fund and is already accounted for in the published share price).

Please note there may be a difference in the OCF for the distribution and capitalisation share classes, where this is the case, we will always show the highest figure. The OCF shown is correct as of 2 January 2024.
