ESG Integration
Our approach to ESG integration is thoughtful, practical, research-based, and forward-looking
At an investment level, we integrate financially material ESG factors into our analysis and processes for most of our actively managed strategies, as appropriate, to help us identify opportunities and risks and assess their potential impact on long-term value.
Responsible investing highlights
As investment professionals, our primary responsibility is to act in our clients’ best interests and support their long-term investment objectives. We seek to maximise long-term, risk-adjusted returns while fulfilling our fiduciary responsibilities. For most of our actively managed strategies, investment teams consider financially material environmental, social, and governance factors, as appropriate, alongside other fundamental investment factors. We also offer strategies designed to meet a range of client preferences and ESG objectives.
