Schroders Launches Global Sustainable Food & Water Fund Exclusive to Only HSBC Singapore Clients 22nd September 2022 | Singapore
Schroders has announced the launch of the Schroder ISF Global Sustainable Food & Water fund exclusively to only HSBC Singapore clients. The Schroder ISF Global Sustainable Food & Water fund is a global equity portfolio which invests in companies worldwide that are driving the transition towards the sustainable provision of food and water. HSBC retail banking clients in Singapore can invest in Schroder ISF Global Sustainable Food and Water fund with a minimum investment amount of USD 1000, and SGD, EUR and GBP hedged classes are also available to investors. Lily Choh, CEO of Schroders Singapore: “ The global food and water system is currently unsustainable and faces intense pressure with the continued growth in the global population and the effects of climate change. An estimated US$30 trillion of investment will need to be spent by 2050 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by two-thirds and meet the two-degree goal set in the Paris accord while sustainably providing food and water to an expected global population of 10 billion. At Schroders, we believe in taking the lead in reorientating capital towards companies in the food and water systems that are transitioning to a more sustainable future.” Jeffrey Yap, Head of Investments and Wealth Solutions, Southeast Asia, Private Banking & Wealth, HSBC: “Recent global climate events have further exacerbated the threat of water and food security. The cost of inaction is enormous, and as a bank, we are in the position to unlock sustainable investment opportunities and help investors influence change. The Schroder ISF Global Sustainable Food and Water fund, which was first made available to our private banking clients, is a prime example of how we can seamlessly bring ESG-themed investment ideas to our clients from across the wealth continuum. HSBC remains committed to working with like-minded partners such as Schroders to bring more best-in-class investment solutions that will help our clients build a sustainable future which benefits both the economy and society.”

Lily Choh, CEO of Schroders Singapore:
Lily Choh Schroders Singapore CEO and Head of Institutional APAC “We are pleased to partner exclusively with HSBC Singapore to launch the Schroder ISF Global Sustainable Food and Water fund, the second sustainability-focused strategy following the Schroder ISF Sustainable Multi-Asset Income fund launch in 2020. The global food and water system is currently unsustainable and faces intense pressure with the continued growth in the global population and the effects of climate change. An estimated US$30 trillion of investment will need to be spent by 2050 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by two-thirds and meet the two-degree goal set in the Paris accord while sustainably providing food and water to an expected global population of 10 billion.
At Schroders, we believe in taking the lead in reorientating capital towards companies in the food and water systems that are transitioning to a more sustainable future. This is in line with the findings of our recent Global Investor Study 2022, which found that Singapore investors place high importance on environment-related issues, with climate as well as natural capital and biodiversity ranked as the top two engagement priorities. We believe these companies re-imagining the food and water supply chain will be in great demand and possess strong long-term growth potential.”
