JovFunds Management Inc. today announce the launch of the Jov Winslow Global Green Growth Fund.
The fund is sub-advised by “green” investing pioneer Winslow Management Company, LLC, and is the first Winslow-managed investment fund offered in Canada.
“Green investing has moved from a novelty to a fundamental in portfolio construction,” says Steve Hawkins, managing partner of Toronto-based JovFunds. “We are pleased to be partnering with Winslow, as they are a leader in green investing and have one of the strongest track records in North America.”
JovFunds says the fund intends to invest substantially all of its assets in equity securities of companies that provide environmental solutions.
The fund defines an “environmental solution” as a product or service that reduces resource consumption, decreases pollution such as climate-changing greenhouse gases, or contributes to healthy, sustainable lifestyles.
Founded 25 years ago, Boston-based Winslow is widely recognized as a pioneer in the rapidly growing field of green investing.
