Investing in Water

Water - specifically, how much we use, what we use it for, how much is left and how much we pay for it - has been at the top of many agendas recently. We are pleased to present our Water Framework, the second in a series that presents our views on how to invest in this critical natural resource.

Investing in Energy

Thematic investing creates investment opportunities directly related to social or environmental needs, and often can address both dimensions simultaneously. Sonen constructs "impact frameworks" for multiple impact themes that identify specific social or environmental challenges. These help guide our thinking as we explore different ways to deploy capital. Our Energy Framework is the first in a series available for download now.
