  • ESG factors can have a material impact on financial value

    We believe ESG factors can materially affect financial value; therefore, we integrate financially material ESG risks and opportunities into our investing process.

  • Active managers have a stewardship advantage

    We believe active managers are well placed to manage stewardship effectively, as we’re able to bring our experience to work with company management to encourage effective change. Where we own and operate assets, we believe it’s our responsibility to pursue the best sustainability processes and standards for our firm, our employees, and our clients.

  • We believe in offering clients sustainable investing choices

    We believe in offering choices to investors, from ESG integration to impact investments. A broad range of products enables investors to better meet an equally broad range of goals.

Active stewardship in action

We believe active ownership practices are at the center of good stewardship, helping drive strong risk-adjusted investment return potential for our clients over time while we seek to make a positive impact on the environment and society.
