In some cases, the rebranding has been in name only.\nLast year, companies that manage mutual funds and exchange-traded funds rebranded a record 25 funds as sustainable, according to Morningstar. They say these funds have adopted investment strategies that utilize data on companies’ environmental, social and governance performance to pick stocks. Since 2013, fund companies have rebranded 64 funds, which had $35 billion in assets as of June.\nThe American Century Fundamental Equity Fund is now theSustainable Equity Fund, the USAA World Growth Fund is theUSAA Sustainable World Fundand the Putnam Multi-Cap Growth Fund is now thePutnam Sustainable Leaders Fund. Assets for all three are up since the rebrandings.\nMany of these funds are actively managed and were experiencing chronic outflows prior to rebranding, said Morningstar Head of Sustainability Research Jon Hale. “You have big fund companies with an inventory of funds, a lot of which aren’t really attracting assets anymore, saying ‘OK, here’s this new investment trend happening; what do we do?’” Mr. Hale said.\nThe shift is akin to a car company freshening up a tired model. Actively managed funds, which are run by stock pickers, have been losing investor cash for years. Similar funds with a sustainable label have been raking in money, according to Morningstar.\nOf the 64 rebranded funds, 35 were suffering from investor withdrawals in the three years before they went green, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of Morningstar data. At 13 of the funds, investors began putting in cash again. At 45, new cash plus the rising stock market have boosted overall assets.\nThe $1.5 billion USAA Sustainable World Fund holds nearly $100 million in shares of 47 fossil-fuel companies, according to data from shareholder advocacy group As You Sow, the most of any repurposed fund. Last year, Victory Capital Management Inc. changed the fund’s name from USAA World Growth Fund.\nA disclosure was added to the fund’s prospectus noting ESG ratings are considered but fund managers may disagree with a raters’ conclusion. The Sustainable World Fund continued to hold shares of companies such as mining firmRio TintoPLC and purchased shares in oil-and-gas companies after rebranding.\n“We believe incorporating ESG considerations into a portfolio should be an input under a larger mosaic of considerations any manager evaluates to achieve a well-balanced, diversified portfolio,” said Mannik S. Dhillon, president of VictoryShares & Solutions, an investment adviser for USAA.\nInvestors had been pulling cash out of American Century Investment’s Fundamental Equity Fund for years before its 2016 rebranding. Three years later and under a new name, the Sustainable Equity Fund brought in a net $1.7 billion.\n“To us, that was an affirmation that we made the right changes,” said American Century Vice President Joe Reiland. “The performance was getting better, the investment community was more interested in investing sustainably and it made us more marketable to clients.”\nThe fund beat the S&P 500 over the past five years and boasts its portfolio companies emit 67% fewer greenhouse gases than the index, according to the fund’s sustainability report. The fund dumped shares of 12 firms during the transition includingExxon MobilCorp.while adding electric-vehicle makerTeslaInc.\nIt keptConocoPhillips,even though it is a big greenhouse-gas emitter, because it was shifting more toward sustainability, Mr. Reiland said. “After analyzing the two, ConocoPhillips was demonstrating the ability to become an ESG leader over Exxon,” Mr. Reiland said.\nOther companies frequently dumped by rebranded funds were oil-and-gas producerDevon EnergyCorp., tobacco firmPhilip Morris InternationalInc.and aerospace companiesGeneral DynamicsCorp.andBoeingCo., according to a Journal analysis of constituents of 43 funds with historical data.\nRebranded funds typically bought tech companies such as chip makerTexas InstrumentsInc.and software makerCadence Design SystemsInc.One reason sustainable funds have done well is because technology companies have trounced energy stocks in the past few years. Nearly 70% of 286 sustainable funds ranked in the top half of their performance category last year, according to Morningstar.\nAssets in Putnam Investments’ Putnam Multi-Cap Growth and Multi-Cap Value funds were hovering near their lowest point since the early 2000s when the company rebranded both funds.\nAssets of the rechristened Putnam Sustainable Leaders Fund rose by 66% to $6.5 billion as of this June. ThePutnam Sustainable Future Fundgrew its assets by 93% to $649 million, according to the Journal’s analysis.
