Read our Responsible Investing Policy

Principles of responsible investing (PRI)

We are a signatory to the PRI as an asset manager, which outlines six core principles for responsible investment:

Incorporate ESG factors into investment analysis and decision-making processes.

Be active owners and incorporate ESG issues into PRI ownership policies and practices.

Seek appropriate disclosure on ESG issues from the sub-advisors as well as corporations in which we invest.

Promote acceptance and implementation of the Principles across the industry.

Work together to enhance our effectiveness in implementing the Principles.

Report on our activities and progress towards implementing the Principles.

Our approach to Responsible Investing (RI)

Investing Responsibly

The PRI defines ESG integration as “ongoing consideration of ESG factors within an investment analysis and decision making process with the aim to improve risk adjusted returns.” As a manager of managers, our RI activities are primarily focused on sub-advisor selection and monitoring of their RI practices. Where appropriate, we expect our sub-advisors to incorporate environmental, social, and governance considerations with the goal to improve risk adjusted returns.

Approach to stewardship

We believe our sub-advisors have an important stewardship role to play. We also have a role to play with our sub-advisors and in the industry.
