By Lisa Kerner

Charlotte, N.C., March 31 – Natixis Global Asset Management launched Mirova Global Sustainable Equity Fund (ESGMX), a global equity mutual fund managed by Natixis AM U.S.

The fund invests in a broad range of global companies and is not limited by traditional index sectors or exclusionary approaches to impact investing, according to a news release.

Co-managed by Jens Peers, CFA, Suzanne Senellart and Hua Cheng, CFA, the fund seeks to maintain a relatively concentrated portfolio of roughly 50 stocks.

Megatrends such as population growth, increasing urbanization, technology breakthroughs, natural resource depletion and climate change may be instrumental to informing sustainable investment themes for the fund.

“We are pleased to offer the Mirova Global Sustainable Equity Fund to investors who are looking at their futures and wanting a modern ESG fund that can be used as a core global equity allocation, investing in companies with strong fundamentals that have shown a commitment to corporate responsibility,” said David Giunta, president and chief executive officer of Natixis Global Asset Management, U.S. and Canadian distribution.

Natixis is a Boston-based investment firm.
