Sustainable investing & impact

Supporting the orderly transition to a lower-carbon future

Our expertise

With over 20 years'1 Sustainable Investing (SI) expertise, we continue to cultivate a range of strategies that are aimed at helping drive positive change, beyond just financial returns. Our SI capabilities cover traditional and alternative, active and passive, and span across asset classes.

There is rarely a ‘one size fits all’ for clients – which is why we incorporate a variety of approaches. These include exclusions, screening, developing sustainability, impact, transition focused strategies, engagement and ESG integration. And by integrating data science into our SI processes we aim to drive innovation and create more efficient alpha.

What sets us apart

Sustainability means thinking and acting with the long term in mind. It’s an integral part of our business, from the products, services and advice we offer, to the way we work and operate in society.

SI in private markets

Climate change, energy needs and water scarcity are among the biggest challenges of our century. We recognize that real assets such as properties and infrastructure contribute significantly to CO2 emissions and the consumption of natural resources. While the financial objectives of our clients remain the primary focus of our investments, our sustainable investment strategy also considers long-term resilience, climate change, environmental, social and governance aspects.
