Impact Investing

Invest in companies which make an impact

We believe we can generate both compelling investment returns and social and environmental impacts for our investors.

Invest in societal and environmental change

Why should we consider impact investing? We are living in a time of environmental and societal change that is defining a generation. Therefore it is increasingly important to ensure our investments are aligned to changing expectations around sustainability and fairness. 

More and more investors are clearly inclined towards sustainability; but impact investing goes further. It aims to identify companies on the right side of change with the potential to deliver environmental and social impact, as well as positive financial return.

As impact investors, we believe we have a unique opportunity to play a key role in helping deliver positive outcomes that the world is increasingly seeking — partnering with clients, investors, and business interests in the process. 

"Impact is about the present, but includes dimensions of change and persistence. Impact requires conscious action, skilled execution and the commitment of additionality."

Investing in Sustainable Solutions​

  • We align our investments with the one or more of UN Sustainable Development Goals, aiming to direct capital toward specific impact outcomes
  • We integrate ESG factors into our investment analysis and base each investment decision on a material and measurable positive impact thesis under one of our three proprietary pillars: Climate and Resource Impact, Social Equity and Quality of Life, Sustainable Innovation and Productivity

Forward-looking and Resilient​

  • We apply a forward-looking mindset and a perspective on change, in order to seek positive social and environmental impact and potential financial returns for our clients
  • We identify inefficiencies embedded in markets by combining our active and high conviction approach, with our traditional and responsible investment research capability

Active Influence
 

  • We commit to using our scale and resources to promote and progress the impact agenda via active ownership and impact-oriented company engagement
  • We adopt an outcome-oriented approach to active ownership and report on progress regularly
