Additional information on how this fund can help meet your clients’ needs
- Finds companies at the cutting edge of the new economy
The fund invests in the companies of tomorrow; the organisations that will define how we will live our lives in the future. This means that they have the potential to deliver strong returns for your clients. - A fund with high-quality research at its heart
The New Economy investment team uses its extensive bottom-up research capabilities to discover companies that are at the forefront of change and that are achieving growth using innovation. - Strong results history
This fund is no fad. In fact, the New Economy strategy has been around for more than 35 years since it was first pioneered in 1983. Over the long term, the strategy has delivered attractive results for its investors across different market environments.
Past results are not a guarantee of future results.
We are in a golden era of innovation at a time marked by volatile market conditions. This macro backdrop is favourable as it uncovers diverse new trends and opportunities that offer strong growth potential.
- Fast-growing companies can define the economy of tomorrow.
- Innovation, new technologies and digital disruption have created a wealth of opportunities.
- New Economy pursues growth from diverse trends spanning industries, sectors and geography.
- Our deep research continues to uncover fast-growing companies that are defining our economy and our daily lives.
As 2022 continues to unfold, New Economy is positioned to address near- and long-term opportunities and challenges by having exposure to:
- The growth stories of tomorrow.
- Cutting-edge businesses at the forefront of change.
- Companies, not themes, across all market capitalisation ranges.
The investment objective of the New Economy fund is to achieve long-term growth of capital for your clients by investing in securities of companies that can benefit from innovation, exploit new technologies or provide products and services that meet the demands of an evolving global economy. The fund also aims to manage a carbon footprint that is at least 30% lower than the index1, and evaluates and applies ESG and norms-based screening to implement an exclusion policy relating to investments in corporate issuers.
The strength and breadth of our research has helped uncover innovative companies across industries. Our bottom-up approach:
- Places emphasis on the quality of an individual company
- Leverages the rigorous fundamental research and extensive experience of equity analysts
- Seeks to engage with companies to help understand and shape their long-term strategy
- Integrates a consideration of material ESG issues into our research process
We look for innovative companies across all sectors and industries. Our competitors tend to simply equate ‘innovation’ with technology funds – or an even narrower framework.
We, on the other hand, focus on and invest in organisations that we believe, as a result of our fundamental research, are forward-thinking and cutting edge. We de-emphasise current trends and what is proving to be popular at any given moment, which makes for a more enduring long-term approach.
We believe a proactive approach makes us better stewards of our clients’ financial future. We integrate ESG into our investment process with the goal of identifying material issues that matter most to investors.
The incorporation of material ESG risks and opportunities is deeply woven into our fundamental, bottom-up research process.
- The fund applies specific ESG and norms-based exclusions. It excludes companies within certain sectors as well as UN Global Compact violators.3
- The fund has an explicit carbon footprint target that is at least 30% lower than the reference index.2
Norms-based analysis determines whether an issuer complies with the universal principles in the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC).
Taking the long view
We base our investment decisions on a long-term perspective, aligning our goals with the interests of your clients. Superior, long-term returns are our goal. New Economy managers are rewarded for their results, not the level of assets they manage.
Breadth of experience
Our process enables individual investment professionals to act on their highest convictions while limiting the risk associated with isolated decision-making. We draw on their diverse experience to build the portfolio.
Deep, fundamental research
The scale and scope of our proprietary research, built over 90 years, allows us to uncover what we believe to be compelling investment opportunities for our clients. Investment analysts conduct thousands of research visits globally every year. This research is then combined with comprehensive macro analysis. This approach has been essential to the results we have delivered to our investors.
An proactive approach to ESG
The incorporation of ESG risks and opportunities is deeply woven into our fundamental, bottom-up research process. Our active investment process ensures a focus on the most material issues for each investment.
*Capital Group manages equity assets through three investment groups. These groups make investment and proxy voting decisions independently. Fixed income investment professionals provide fixed income research and investment management across the Capital organisation; however, for securities with equity characteristics, they act solely on behalf of one of the three equity investment groups.

Risk factors you should consider before investing:
- This material is not intended to provide investment advice or be considered a personal recommendation.
- The value of investments and income from them can go down as well as up and you may lose some or all of your initial investment.
- Past results are not a guide to future results.
- If the currency in which you invest strengthens against the currency in which the underlying investments of the fund are made, the value of your investment will decrease. Currency hedging seeks to limit this, but there is no guarantee that hedging will be totally successful.
- The Prospectus – together with any locally-required offering documentation – set out risks, which, depending on the fund, may include risks associated with investing in fixed income, derivatives, emerging markets and/or high-yield securities; emerging markets are volatile and may suffer from liquidity problems.
