The strategies will be available to accredited investors and professional investors in Singapore and Hong Kong respectively. These strategies are actively managed global portfolios which the firm thinks will exploit environmental and natural resource pressures, the revolution in food production and increased consumer demand from ageing populations. The funds are available to institutional, intermediary and retail investors via the Irish-domiciled fund range, BNY Mellon Global Funds, plc.

Newton Investment Management, an investment firm which is part of BNY Mellon Investment Management, will oversee the funds. The funds are run by Charles French, head of equity opportunities at Newton, and Yuko Takano, who is also co-lead manager on Newton’s Sustainable Global Equity strategy and the BNY Mellon Sustainable Global Equity Fund.
