Een nieuwe kijk op beleggen

Bij het moderne duurzame beleggen gaat het erom dat wij onze klanten belangrijke nieuwe tools aanreiken voor het samenstellen van sterkere portefeuilles en voor het genereren van betere, duurzamere beleggingsstrategieën en -producten.

Waarom is dat het geval?

Bij duurzaam beleggen is breder gebruik van niet-financiële gegevens in het beleggingsanalyseproces essentieel: cijfers over prestaties op het gebied van milieu, maatschappij en governance moeten worden meegenomen. Door deze gegevens bij het beleggingsproces te betrekken, krijgen beleggers breder zicht op het opwaartse en neerwaartse potentieel van hun beleggingen.

Transparantie

Duurzaam beleggen geeft een nieuw soort transparantie aan onze beleggingen. Dat is te danken aan cijfers die beleggers een materieel, en vaak kwantitatief, inzicht bieden in de wijze waarop een bedrijf wordt gerund, in de echte risicofactoren, en in de mate waarin bedrijfsmodellen en bedrijfsprocessen werkelijk duurzaam zijn. Deze cijfers moeten dan wel volledig zijn geïntegreerd in het besluitvormingsproces voor beleggingen.

Wij doen geen concessies

Bij UBS geloven wij dat duurzaam beleggen bij een gelijkblijvend risico-rendementsprofiel waarde toevoegt. Daarom integreert UBS Asset Management informatie over milieu, maatschappij en governance in zijn reguliere aanbod van alle vermogenscategorieën.

Real Estate

REPM, serving as a leader in sustainable real estate solutions

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.
