The Guinness Sustainable Energy Funds invest in companies involved in the generation, storage, efficiency and consumption of sustainable energy sources (such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, biofuels and biomass). We believe that over the next twenty years the sustainable energy sector will benefit from the combined effects of strong demand growth, improving economics and both public and private support and that this will provide attractive equity investment opportunities. The Funds are actively managed and use the MSCI World  Index as a comparator benchmark only.
