Established in 2006, Future Fund is Australia’s sovereign wealth fund. It is responsible for investing for the benefit of future generations of Australians and managing six public asset funds. As at June 30, 2020, it had AUD205 billion of funds under management.
As part of its responsible investment approach, Future Fund integrates environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues when considering investment proposals, and selecting and monitoring investment managers. Additionally, the investor applies negative and norms-based screening on companies directly involved in manufacturing tobacco products, the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions and the 1997 Anti-Personnel Mines Convention. With regards to Climate Change, Future Fund considers carbon price, transition and physical risks in its investment processes. Further, it supports the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and engages with investee entities, either directly or in partnership with investment managers, to advocate for the adoption of TCFD recommendations.
