Why has the performance of responsible investments stumbled this year?

Jane Bransgrove, Investment Director at Charles Stanley, runs our Responsible Model Portfolios. She says, “as with all portfolios in our MPS range, our responsible models benefit from active asset allocation. This, coupled with strong risk management, and focus on risk-adjusted returns, has helped our Responsible Models to continue to deliver competitive performance compared to peers despite the recent headwinds. The holdings within our model portfolios have responsible characteristics, for example they’re tracking an ESG or socially responsible index, or they have a thematic focus. Therefore, unlike some models with sustainable labels which might only have a couple of responsible funds dotted throughout the portfolio – investors can be confident that our models are committed to tackling sustainability challenges.”
