Considering positive investment themes when making investment decisions for our Sustainable Fund range is important at Castlefield. We believe responsible business practices, along with sustainable products and services, will allow companies to produce better investment returns over the long term.

Our positive themes provide a framework for assessing the positive credentials of any individual investment.

We've recently updated these and included a few more featured holdings, to show how this works in practice.
