Better Future Strategy Sustainability Report 2024
Innovation for Growth
We believe companies that address global challenges will experience rising demand for their products and services. We expect these companies to experience healthy revenue and profit growth, while driving positive change.
Welcome to the inaugural Sustainability Report for Jennison’s Better Future Strategy. The Better Future Strategy was conceived as a natural extension of our Global Equity team’s expertise in identifying and investing in growth companies worldwide. Built on Jennison’s established track record of investing in enduring secular global trends, this strategy aligns with our commitment to both performance and sustainability.
In our view, the companies that deliver exponential growth over the long term are those that continuously innovate, adapt, and reinvent themselves. They string a sequence of great business ideas together to create wave after wave of strong growth. The Better Future Strategy is dedicated to identifying and investing in precisely these kinds of companies — those that not only exhibit the potential for market leadership but also contribute meaningfully to a more sustainable and resilient world.
At the heart of our strategy is a belief that robust growth and positive change are interconnected forces that, together, fuel long-term growth. In today’s complex and interconnected global economy, we believe companies that prioritize sustainable practices and enduring value creation aren’t just creating a pathway to a better future for the world; they are gaining a competitive advantage. Sustainable investing has recently navigated a period of intense debate and reflection. As global challenges like climate change continue to demand innovative solutions, differing expectations and the absence of standardized terminology and labels have raised questions from both critics and advocates alike. However, this scrutiny is also driving an essential shift: the inconsistencies that have challenged sustainable investing are now paving the way toward greater clarity in language, and a stronger focus on meaningful outcomes.
The investment management industry is uniquely positioned to steer capital toward companies whose products and services drive measurable and positive real-world outcomes. By integrating sustainability considerations into investment decisions and by targeting companies that offer solutions to environmental and social challenges, financial participants have the opportunity to contribute to innovation and positive change.
The Better Future Strategy, which is also available as a UCITS fund, was built to deliver on this vision. By combining rigorous bottom-up fundamental analysis with a deep understanding of sustainability issues, our Strategy seeks to deliver to clients attractive long-term returns while contributing to a more sustainable future.
Thank you for reading our inaugural sustainability report. We hope it provides valuable insights into the opportunities that are actively building toward a better future.
