The Polar Capital Smart Energy Strategy invests in companies at the forefront of the global transition towards a cleaner, more efficient, and sustainable energy future.
The Strategy is founded on the belief that, with the world faced with an urgent need to decarbonise, demand for smart energy solutions will rise exponentially. This has the potential to deliver significant opportunities over the long-term as innovative companies enable this transition to a decarbonised future.
Economies must envision and empower an energy future that is smart, sustainable, and secure to bring CO2 emissions under control and limit the effects of global warming. We seek to invest in the innovative companies helping to enable this transition, a long-term investment opportunity against the backdrop of global efforts to decarbonise.
As we move towards a decarbonised energy future that is smart, sustainable, and secure, the Polar Capital Smart Energy Strategy seeks long-term investment themes emerging around the provision of clean, electric and efficient energy solutions globally. Smart integration across all of these areas will help to achieve decarbonisation at the lowest possible costs.
Envisioning a low-carbon future is not enough; there needs to be definitive action to limit the effects of global warming. Cleaner, smarter, and more efficient energy solutions will provide key routes towards rapid decarbonisation.
That is why the Polar Capital Smart Energy Strategy seeks to identify and invest in the enablers of this energy revolution. The Polar Capital Smart Energy Strategy has sustainability embedded into its very core, empowering change, and transition through its investments.
From identifying the initial proprietary universe through to portfolio construction, monitoring, and engagement; sustainability is a core factor integrated into every stage of the investment process.

Sustainability factors are fully integrated throughout the whole investment process, from identifying the initial universe through to portfolio construction, monitoring, and engagement.
Core to our belief is that sustainable companies with solid business fundamentals have a long-term competitive edge. We seek exposure to the entirety of the smart energy value chain, from clean power generation to energy transmission, distribution and storage, providing investors with comprehensive access to this long-term investment theme.
The Strategy's initial investment universe is subject to the following two exclusion criteria. Stock ideas which do not pass either of these are unsuitable for investment, and are not considered any further for inclusion into the portfolio.
A specific thematic exclusion criteria ensures that, in line with the Strategy’s sustainable investment objective, the portfolio cannot invest in companies with revenue exposure to fossil-fuel or nuclear-powered utilities, or companies involved in the exploration, production and distribution of oil, natural gas or first generation biofuels.
The second exclusion focuses on eliminating companies involved in controversial behaviours or controversial products from the Strategy’s investment universe. This includes the exclusion of companies involved in the production, distribution or sale of controversial weapons, such as cluster munitions and anti-personal mines, and excludes investment in companies involved in the production, distribution or sale of nuclear weapons. Excluded are also companies that derive more than 5% of their revenues from conventional weapons production (including components or systems), tobacco, alcohol, gambling and adult entertainment. Finally, the exclusion includes norm-based exclusions on social or environmental issues, including controversies that violate the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the UN Guiding Principles of Business and Human Rights.
The team then conduct in-depth sector and company specific material ESG analysis, using their own ESG methodology. This is supported by a variety of sources, including third-party data providers, publicly available company information, meetings with management, expert and consultants’ networks, and scientific and industry journals.
ESG factors that are considered throughout the investment process include:
Solar supply chain
Wind supply chain
Renewable power producers
Smart grid equipment
Hydrogen infrastructure equipment
Electric grid & hydrogen distribution
Power conversion
Energy storage
Buildings
Industrial Processes
Transportation
Big Data
The team seek out compelling opportunities across four key thematic investment clusters, giving investors exposure to all areas of the smart energy value chain. Technological change and innovation, as well as wider sustainability trends, drive idea generation across these four clusters.
Key to strong performance is stock selection, which is driven entirely by fundamental research at every stage of the investment process. The team look to identify strong businesses, with solid fundamentals trading at attractive valuations.
Once invested, we actively monitor all holdings for ongoing ESG risks and controversies. This leads us to frequent engagement with companies over a variety of ESG issues.
We also take the issue of transparency seriously. That is why we report on the Strategy’s environmental footprint (CO2, water, and waste emissions) as well as the portfolio’s impact towards achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
