Sustainable Finance Transparency
The European Union has introduced a series of legal measures (the primary one being the Sustainable Finance Disclosures Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2019/2088)) requiring firms that manage investment funds to provide transparency on how they integrate sustainability considerations into the investment process with respect to the investment funds they manage.
Our Approach to Sustainable Investment
We believe that investors, and asset managers that invest on their behalf, have a responsibility to make their investments in a way that effectively supports a sustainable society.
At the core of our commitment to help our clients achieve their financial objectives is a conviction that this can be achieved by investing responsibly.
We value the importance of integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors into our investment and risk processes and fundamentally believe that this is aligned with the aim of achieving long-term positive financial performance for our investors. We also recognise and value the fact that this will also support the better functioning of companies we invest in, enhancing behaviour in a wide range of markets and industries and having a positive societal impact beyond the financial markets.
What is a Sustainability Risk?
In this context a sustainability risk is considered to be an environmental, social or governance event or condition that, if it occurs, could cause an actual or potential material negative impact on the value of an investment.
Information on How we Integrate Sustainability into the Investment Decision Making Process
As part of the process to undertake appropriate due diligence on investments we evaluate and integrate sustainability risks and other relevant ESG factors when making investment decisions. We utilise internal and external resources to assist in analysing ESG factors, which are systematically integrated into the investment process when we believe they could have a material impact on a company's valuation or financial performance. As part of the investment process we assess a company's corporate governance practices, according to local laws, regulations and established guidelines. In addition, we may refer to the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance, which represent widely accepted standards for corporate governance in many countries. Our proprietary research incorporates an analysis of governance and environmental impact on the valuation of a company. While ESG factors are incorporated into the investment decision making process they also form part of our engagement with investee companies.
In respect of each sub-fund, our investment approach and decision making processes are based on clearly defined investment objectives, investment policies, investment strategy, investment restrictions and risk management parameters, as contained in the prospectus.
For more details, please refer to the investment strategy of the relevant sub-fund as set out in the prospectus and associated investor materials.
