Une nouvelle vision de l’investissement

L’investissement moderne et durable nous permet de fournir à nos clients de nouveaux outils importants pour construire des portefeuilles plus solides, ainsi que créer des stratégies et des produits de placement supérieurs et plus durables

Pourquoi?

L’investissement durable consiste à élargir l’utilisation de données matérielles et non financières dans le processus d’analyse de placement afin d’inclure des données ESG (environnementales, sociales et de gouvernance). En intégrant ces éléments dans le processus de placement, les investisseurs ont une vision plus large du potentiel haussier et baissier de leurs placements.

Une vision plus claire

L’investissement durable apporte un nouveau type de transparence à nos placements – grâce à un ensemble de mesures qui donnent aux investisseurs des informations matérielles, souvent quantitatives, sur la façon dont une entreprise est gérée, sur les domaines exposés aux risques réels et sur la durabilité de son modèle commercial et de ses pratiques – lorsque ces données sont totalement intégrées dans le processus de décision de placement.

Aucun compromis

Chez UBS, nous pensons que l’investissement durable ajoute de la valeur aux portefeuilles au sein d’un même profil de risque/rendement. C’est pourquoi UBS Asset Management intègre les informations ESG dans ses offres courantes sur toutes les classes d’actifs.

Real Estate

REPM, serving as a leader in sustainable real estate solutions

Sustainability is central to how REPM actively manages its infrastructure investments

Climate change, energy needs and water scarcity are counted among the biggest challenges of our century. UBS Asset Management's Real Estate & Private Markets business (REPM), created by the consolidation of real estate and infrastructure, acknowledges that real assets such as properties and infrastructure contribute significantly to CO2 emissions and the consumption of natural resources.

UBS has established a comprehensive approach to environmental and social factors, and to corporate governance across each of the investment disciplines.

At REPM we are committed to acting as responsible investors.

Responsible ownership and operation of real property can have a significant positive impact on the environment and returns for our clients. REPM operates with this in mind while investing both directly and indirectly into real assets. While the financial objectives of our clients remain the primary focus of our investments, our responsible investment strategy also considers long-term resilience, climate change, environmental, social and governance aspects.

In order to be able to maximize our results with regards to the implementation of our responsible investment strategy, an integrated approach is required. At UBS and REPM, sustainability plays a major role in corporate, fund and asset-level decisions.

Real assets such as properties and infrastructure contribute significantly to CO₂ emissions and the consumption of natural resources. We operate with this in mind while investing both directly and indirectly into real assets.

ESG Integration

We believe the integration of material sustainability information within our financial analysis and investment process provides unique insights into the long-term risks, opportunities and competitive advantages of companies.

Stewardship

We believe stewardship activities are an intrinsic part of long-term sustainable investing. As owners of companies we invest in, we have a fiduciary duty to monitor companies ESG performance, engage with management on identified risks/opportunities, influence business conduct and vote consistently at shareholder meetings.

Impact

Our approach to impact investing is based on 3 pillars:

Intentionality: We believe investing in companies that have impactful products and services for society

Additionality: Through stewardship, by influencing company behavior could lead to a combination of additional impact, reduced risk and/or enhanced alpha.

Measurement: Reporting on engagement activities, and progress thereof, helps clients understand how their assets have contributed to corporate change and driven solutions to global challenges.
