Sustainability Philosophy and Approach

The consideration of sustainability-related factors such as environmental, social and governance factors comprise just one dimension of the broader risk environment. Our holistic approach to sustainability-focused investing is therefore an extension of our overall risk analysis that can identify risks across many dimensions. Our approach has the flexibility and depth to allow us to broaden our analysis of material issues to encompass a wider set of sustainability concerns.

Stewardship and Active Ownership

Beyond portfolio investment activities, we firmly believe in the importance of effective stewardship and engagement as a mechanism to proactively address material risks or egregious sustainability behaviors of a company. And as quantitative investors managing highly diversified portfolios across large global universes, we view “market-level” engagement with policymakers and regulators as well as collaboration with industry organizations to promote improved disclosure of information that could enhance outcomes for client portfolios as critical components of our sustainability-focused investment process.
