Responsible Investment

Our Approach

We believe responsible investment leads to enhanced long-term financial returns and a closer alignment of objectives among investors, stakeholders, and society at large.

We believe the benefits of responsible investment include:

  • Risk Reduction
  • Cost Reduction
  • Positive impact on operating performance

We integrate responsible investment practices across our organization. Besides being an early signatory of the Principles for Responsible Investment (‘PRI’) in 2008, our company is actively engaged in initiatives to improve responsible investment industry standards.

Responsible Investment Committee

Our RI Committee includes representation from each investment strategy, investment risk functions, and senior client and business professionals.
The Committee works closely with each investment team as well as the organization as a whole to make sure our RI philosophy runs through our entire business. 

The Committee:

  • Votes on items such as RI policy and UN PRI submissions
  • Advises Investment Committees on RI best practice
  • Evaluates potential RI alerts within our investment portfolios
  • Sets the agenda for RI training, community involvement and the advancement of RI thought leadership

Five RI Sub-Committees focusing on key topics

In 2019, the firm formed five Sub-Committees to focus on key areas of Responsible Investment ("RI") within the business.
