We have an extensive sustainable investing track record and dedicated Sustainable Investing and Asset Stewardship Teams comprised of over 40 personnel covering data and research, integration and strategy, and engagement and voting. We leverage additional sustainable investing resources within our individual investment, marketing, and reporting teams, who devote more than 30% of their time to sustainable investing.
Sustainable investing requires tools to measure, manage, and disclose the challenges and opportunities within an investment portfolio.
Our sustainability data and research platform includes more than 50 data sets from 10 data providers, leveraging thematic information from leading third-party vendors. These data cover a range of matters including sustainability ratings and scores, thematic sustainability topics like climate (e.g., carbon emissions, fossil fuel reserves, brown and green revenues, physical and transition risk, climate value at risk), corporate governance, controversies, product involvement, and impact.
Our multi-source data architecture, combined with our proprietary sustainability insights, provides us with the expertise and flexibility needed for data collection and integration. We utilise a variety of data sources and metrics to manage investment solutions tailored to the unique needs of our clients.
For clients with climate considerations we offer climate-aware investment solutions and provide comprehensive reports to help identify the climate-related risks and opportunities within portfolios.
The aim of our Asset Stewardship program is to promote effective board oversight, disclosures and shareholder protection. To fulfil our asset stewardship responsibility, we rely on two main tools: voting at shareholder meetings and engaging with companies.
