Nanuk fund now available on mFund platform
Nanuk Asset Management has announced that its sustainability fund, the Nanuk New World Fund, will now be available on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) mFund platform.
The global equity fund invests in listed companies involved in areas such as clean energy, energy efficiency, industrial efficiency, waste management, pollution control, food and agriculture, advanced and sustainable materials, as well as water and healthcare technology.
Nanuk’s chief executive, Eric Siegloff, said that fund flows had already started via mFunds as investors were on the lookout for the benefits of electronic settlement and consolidated reporting.
“We are experiencing increasing interest in sustainable investing and we welcome investors from broker-advised and broker-serviced clients who value a direct platform such as this,” he said.
