At Castlefield, our purpose of "gathering assets to do good" is present throughout the process when making investment decisions for our Thoughtful Fund range. That's because we believe responsible business practices, products and services, will allow companies to produce better investment returns over the long term.
There are some common themes which help to categorise our investments to show how that works across the funds.
We've recently updated these and included a few more featured holdings, to show how this works in practice.
Below are a few example holdings to demonstrate how our robust investment process works in practice. You can filter the results to see which common theme investments align to and click through for more information on the individual stock.
NB: while our Real Return fund follows the B.E.S.T. investment process, it is not included within our Thoughtful Fund Range.
