Introducing the Old Mutual Gift of the Givers Life Fund

Gift of the Givers and Old Mutual Wealth have partnered to launch the Old Mutual Gift of the Givers Life Fund. In an innovation that transcends investment, investors can invest with purpose and contribute some of their investment income to the Gift of the Givers Foundation to fund disaster relief efforts in South Africa.

Companies with higher ESG scores have proven to outperform those with weaker ESG scores. In times of crisis such as the Covid-19 market crash in 2020, companies with high ESG scores showed resilience and delivered superior investment returns when compared to those with lower ESG scores. Given this evidence of ESG driving long-term investment performance, many investors have integrated sustainable investing into their portfolios.

We have designed the Old Mutual Wealth ESG Ratings Scale to provide critical fund-level ESG transparency to create a better understanding and measurement of the nature and characteristics of ESG portfolios.

Our objective is to partner with other companies across financial services to motivate the broader financial services industry to adopt an ESG ratings scale with MSCI or other ratings agencies, to make this information publicly and easily accessible and continue to build trust and transparency in our industry.
