Responsible investing
We consider true responsible investing as a long-term approach that accounts for a wide range of complex environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors.
ACTIVELY LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
As the focus of sustainability best practice shifts over time, we stay committed to adapting our funds to suit the changing global landscape. You can be sure your capital remains invested in the latest sustainability strategies, without continually changing funds.
FULLY INTEGRATED
We believe responsible investing is intelligent investing. As a result, we have embedded responsible investment practices and ESG beliefs within our investment approach. This ensures that a11 our investment professionals are accountable for considering ESG factors within our funds and investment processes.
SEARCHING BEYOND THE STANDARD
Our investment approach goes beyond standard exclusions to identify asset characteristics that are most relevant to individual investment and the overall portfolio. The focus is on exposures that are sustainable as well as material to your organization's investment goals. This allows clients to both remove unwanted characteristics and proactively support organizations' positive contribution to research, innovation and leading best practices.
ESG SPECIFIC STRATEGIES
If you are seeking a specific portfolio outcome, our team can work with you to implement focused investment strategies such as decarbonization or social capital to achieve your desired objective.
POSITIVE INVESTMENT
Development of portfolios with more optimal responsible investing, such as portfolios that include allocations to higher material ESG scores or impact investing.
NEGATIVE SCREENING
Application of negative screens and exclusions to portfolios according to your objectives, e.g. removal of companies involved in manufacture and/or production of weapons, tobacco, cluster ammunitions, gambling and fossil fuels.

DECARBONIZATION 2.0
In this paper, we explore how a standard decarbonization approach can unintentionally lead to reduced exposure to renewable energy and a reduction in the aggregate ESG profile of a portfolio.
MATERIALITY MATTERS:
THE MATERIAL ESG SCORE
