Responsible Investing

Supporting investors sustainability goals, as well as their returns

A key part of our investment process is to consider material risks and opportunities facing companies and industries including Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues.

Our team diligently engages with companies on ESG risks and opportunities, with the aim of strengthening our conviction in portfolio risk management and improving investment outcomes.
