    Defining Your ESG Goals

    We advise that investors define and develop specific ESG investment objectives and goals, based on their vision, mission, and investment goals. Common objectives can include alpha generation, risk mitigation, responding to new ESG regulations, aligning investments to their preferences, or meeting individual client investment goals. Investment principles can be developed based on these objectives, which will form the ESG investment strategy.

    ESG Investment Strategies

    Investors can pursue their specific ESG objectives through a range of investment strategies.

    Climate Investing

    This is a thematic investment approach that aims to align portfolios with the transition to a low carbon economy and a reduction in global warming to well below 2°C.

    For investors seeking to align portfolios with the Paris Agreement goals and the transition to a low-carbon economy, we offer a variety of options across equities and fixed income. Our Sustainable Climate Strategies may help investors benefit from both mitigation of current and future emissions, and adaptation to embedded climate risks.

    Screening

    Negative screening excludes specific companies, sectors or countries based on ESG factors and/or an investor’s preferences. The benefits include mitigating reputational risk and enabling investors to avoid allocating funds to companies or sectors that conflict with their beliefs.

    With decades of experience in developing screened approaches across equities and fixed income, we offer clients a tailored way to pursue their goals or risk mitigation preferences in their portfolios.

    Best in Class

    This approach focuses on investment in sectors and companies that we believe are leaders in terms of meeting certain ESG criteria relative to investment universes and/or industry peers.

    Where appropriate, we aim to invest in sectors and companies, that are leaders in this way using our internal R-FactorTM ESG rating system and other ESG data sources.
