Our investment framework seeks to invest in companies that have a positive impact on the environment and society; and at the same time, it helps us stay on the right side of disruption by avoiding companies we consider to be involved in activities that are harmful to the environment or society.

We believe this approach will provide clients with a persistent return source, deliver future compound growth and help mitigate downside risk.

The guiding principle of our investment philosophy evolves around: Is the world a better place because of this company?”
