Prime Talk in Zurich: Innovation from Columbia Threadneedle Investments

Prime Talk & lunch – September 6th, 2023
Zunfthaus zur Waag, Zurich

Innovation from Columbia Threadneedle Investments (Switzerland)
(i) Sustainable Global Equity Enhanced Income
(ii) Net Zero asset management approach

The world is changing and the drive for sustainability is transforming the investment landscape. By identifying and investing in sustainability leaders, we achieve income together with scope for capital growth whilst supporting positive change in the world we live in. A 30-50 stock equity component yielding approx. 3% dividend is supplemented with a derivate overlay designed to enhance yield for distribution by 2-4% per annum.

We believe our approach offers investors access to the potential benefits of an income orientated strategy. This in turn facilitates a differentiated style dynamic relative to many growth biased environmental, social and governance (ESG) orientated strategies by introducing a more value tilted portfolio to the mix. We believe we offer a real alternative – one that can enhance diversification and/or provide an alternative to traditional equity income strategies.

Please join us on on September 6th in Zurich to discuss enhanced income form sustainability leaders with our experts.
