ESG

We engage in responsible investment because we believe it enhances our financial performance as long-term investors and delivers multiple forms of value to our clients. ESG is fully integrated throughout our investment process and we maintain exclusion policies that limit our exposure to activities where sustainability risks tend to be more significant.
