Responsible investment firm Regnan, the sustainable investing brand of J O Hambro Capital Management, has introduced a Global Mobility and Logistics Fund as part of its thematic fund range. The fund’s objective is to generate capital growth in rolling five-year periods through investment in a diversified portfolio of companies in the mobility and logistics universe. These companies include original equipment manufacturers, as well as components, systems, distributors, infrastructure and related technology. Regnan said that most sector investment focuses on alternative fuels and automation, while this fund will invest in the mobility and logistics value chain. It will target the “changing shape of global supply chains”, the modernisation of transport infrastructure, the transition to new fuels, as well as innovations improving efficiencies in moving goods and people. The fund will use a bottom-up approach, constructing a portfolio of 35-50 stocks with “above-market” growth prospects. Bertrand Lecourt, Head of Thematic Investments Strategies at Regnan, said: “Our focus is to deliver compelling returns by investing in companies with sustainable business models, high quality management, strong balance sheets and with histories of cash generation within the mobility and logistics universe.”
