IGS Investment today announced the launch of its first AI‐Enhanced ESG Equity Fund, designed to combine environmental, social, and governance screening with machine‐learning-driven security selection.
The new fund leverages IGS’s proprietary ESG scoring engine, which evaluates over 1,000 data points per company—ranging from carbon intensity and labor practices to board diversity and regulatory compliance. These scores feed into an AI algorithm that optimizes portfolio weights for both sustainability impact and risk-adjusted returns.
IGS CIO David Morales commented:
“Our AI‐Enhanced ESG Fund represents the next generation of sustainable investing. By marrying rigorous ESG analysis with advanced analytics, we aim to deliver competitive performance while driving positive change.”
The fund will target global large-cap equities with a tilt toward renewable energy, clean technology, and companies demonstrating best-in-class governance. An AI oversight committee will review all model outputs to ensure alignment with ESG principles and market realities.
Initial performance forecasts suggest the fund could deliver returns in line with the MSCI World Index while reducing carbon footprint by up to 60% versus a standard benchmark. It is now open to both retail and institutional investors via IGS’s digital platform.
