Why did we create it?
Who will benefit?
The For Tomorrow share class provides an opportunity to invest in our Global Sustainable Equity Fund in a way that helps many who need it most.

At Ninety One, we believe we have a responsibility to invest for a better tomorrow. Our goal, always, is to help our clients achieve their long-term investment objectives. We are determined to do so sustainably, mindful of the interests of the planet and all its inhabitants.​

For more than a decade, Ninety One has supported Tusk, a charity that helps in the conservation and protection of Africa’s wildlife. We wanted to create a way to offer Tusk support for the long term, using our investment management experience to help meet Tusk’s need for contributions.

General risks. The value of investments, and any income generated from them, can fall as well as rise. Past performance does not predict future returns. If any currency differs from the investor’s home currency, returns may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations. Investment objectives may not necessarily be achieved; losses may be made. Environmental, social or governance related risk events or factors, if they occur, could cause a negative impact on the value of investments.

To affirm this commitment we have created a special share class — the For Tomorrow share class — within our Global Sustainable Equity Fund, from which Ninety One donates the full management fee to Tusk.​

Our CEO, Hendrik du Toit, explains, in this video.

Tusk will use the entirety of the fee donations to help support the needs of rangers, their families and communities. Across Africa, many thousands of rangers devote their lives to conserving and protecting wildlife. We would like to play a part in helping to make sure the ranger communities, in turn, have the assistance they need.​

Introducing the For Tomorrow share class (PDF) For Tomorrow share class explanation (PDF) Ninety One Global Sustainable Equity Fund

This Fund has been designed to form part of a broader portfolio of investments and should be purchased with advice or on an execution only basis by a basic investor. Investors must be able to bear loss of capital in order to seek to generate higher potential returns and should be prepared to remain invested for at least 5 years.

Specific risks. Equity investment: The value of equities (e.g. shares) and equity-related investments may vary according to company profits and future prospects as well as more general market factors. In the event of a company default (e.g. insolvency), the owners of their equity rank last in terms of any financial payment from that company. Concentrated portfolio: The portfolio invests in a relatively small number of individual holdings. This may mean wider fluctuations in value than more broadly invested portfolios. Sustainable Strategies: Sustainable, impact or other sustainability-focused portfolios consider specific factors related to their strategies in assessing and selecting investments. As a result, they will exclude certain industries and companies that do not meet their criteria. This may result in their portfolios being substantially different from broader benchmarks or investment universes, which could in turn result in relative investment performance deviating significantly from the performance of the broader market.

Ninety One UK Limited (“Ninety One”) is supporting Tusk Trust Limited (“Tusk”), a registered charity (number 1186533), by making donations equal to 100% of the management fee it receives for managing the assets of the T/TX share classes(es) in the Global Sustainable Equity Fund, a sub-fund of the Ninety One Global Strategy Fund. The management fee is equal to 1% per annum of the net asset value of the applicable T/TX share class that you are invested in. So, for example, if the average value of your investment over a year in US$50,000, then Ninety One will receive US$500 as its management fee for that year, all of which will be donated to Tusk. The donations shall continue for the duration of your investment in the T/TX share class and Ninety One’s agreement with Tusk.
