Emerging Sustainable investment opportunity

TORONTO, Jan. 11, 2016 /CNW/ - NEI Investments ("NEI") today announced the successful launch of the NEI Environmental Leaders Fund to be sub-advised by Impax Asset Management Limited ("Impax").

A first-of-its-kind resource optimization solution in Canada, the fund seeks to achieve long-term capital growth by investing globally in rapidly expanding environmental markets. Corporate leaders in these markets innovate across a range of areas including energy efficiency, renewable energy, water infrastructure, waste management technologies and sustainable food, and agriculture. For investors, that means an emerging investment opportunity that is designed to drive growth forward by focusing on the future potential of thriving industries rather than having to rely on unsustainable industries of the past (e.g. clean energy vs. coal).
