As with my fund review for my investment in the Jupiter Responsible Fund I want to know here if my investment in Jupiter Ecology still makes sense on my methodology.

I started in 2010 with 11 grand, i now have 23 grand, so that’s not too shabby at least.

They say:

At least 70% of the Fund is invested in shares of companies based anywhere in the world whose core products and services address global sustainability challenges. Up to 30% of the Fund may be invested in other assets, including shares of other companies, open-ended funds (including funds managed by Jupiter and its associates), cash and near cash. Companies must meet both a comprehensive financial assessment and environmental and social criteria including looking at a full range of ethical exclusions

hmm

Charlie believes that as the world population continues to grow there will be ever increasing pressure on natural resources such as water, land and energy, and that this should create significant and long lasting investment opportunities.

gross

There’s nothing really of interest in the 2020 annual report except for the preference not to invest in Tesla since Charlie sees it as volatile.
