Leading fund managers in sustainable asset management

Clare Brook, Fund ManagerClare Brook began managing sustainable and environmental funds at Jupiter in 1990 where she managed the pioneering Jupiter Ecology Fund and Jupiter International Green Investment Trust. In 1994 she and her team moved to NPI where they set up the Global Care range of funds, which received numerous Micropal awards. They coined the phrase 'industries of the future' and helped scotch the view that sustainable funds cannot outperform. They increased funds under management from 0 to £1bn over the space of 6 years. The team then moved to Henderson and then in 2001 established the Sustainable Future range of funds at Morley. Here Clare and her team again grew funds under management from 0 to £1 billion over 6 years. Clare has a degree in history from Oxford University. |
