Investissement thématique - Mythe n°5 : Un historique de performance éprouvé est indispensable

L’investissement durable et environnemental est une discipline encore jeune, même si c’est un domaine en pleine essor dans lequel de nouveaux fonds voient régulièrement le jour. Dans un premier temps, les antécédents d’une équipe peuvent être un indicateur utile, mais les performances passées ne doivent pas être considérées comme un indicateur fiable des performances futures. Très peu d’équipes de gestion peuvent se prévaloir d’une solide expérience et d’une connaissance fine de ces secteurs. Quelles doivent donc être les priorités des sélectionneurs de fonds ?

Informations importantes

Please note that articles may contain technical language. For this reason, they may not be suitable for readers without professional investment experience. Any views expressed here are those of the author as of the date of publication, are based on available information, and are subject to change without notice. Individual portfolio management teams may hold different views and may take different investment decisions for different clients. This document does not constitute investment advice. The value of investments and the income they generate may go down as well as up and it is possible that investors will not recover their initial outlay. Past performance is no guarantee for future returns. Investing in emerging markets, or specialised or restricted sectors is likely to be subject to a higher-than-average volatility due to a high degree of concentration, greater uncertainty because less information is available, there is less liquidity or due to greater sensitivity to changes in market conditions (social, political and economic conditions). Some emerging markets offer less security than the majority of international developed markets. For this reason, services for portfolio transactions, liquidation and conservation on behalf of funds invested in emerging markets may carry greater risk.
