Investor Day 2024 Sustainable Dividends

Companies that see circular commodities and the clean energy transition as real opportunities have the best chances for successful growth. The Sustainable Dividends Value Fund focuses especially on this type of companies. This offers me greater certainty of returns and the chance to invest equity capital in accelerating the transition into a more sustainable society.

The Sustainable Dividends Value Fund invests in companies that take sustainability seriously. The fund is run by experienced people whom I have known for a long time and in whom I have great confidence. Those two factors ensure that I have been a participant in the fund for many years with peace of mind.

The Sustainable Dividends team strives for socially sustainable impact. The world is changing rapidly. From my beach house, I saw Boskalis doing sand replenishment, TKH pulling cables to offshore wind turbines and Fugro mapping the North Sea and coastlines. Ørsted builds offshore wind farms, Vopak takes care of hydrogen storage and LNG, and SKF supplies ball bearings for wind turbines. Investing is that simple, and the Sustainable Dividends Value Fund invests in some of these companies.

What really appealed to me about Sustainable Dividends is the story. First, we invest only in sustainable companies. Then, we look for companies that show an upward trend in dividend payments because companies with growing dividends have historically achieved above-average returns. A refreshingly simple and clear strategy that gives me confidence.
