Financial and social value of investing sustainably
Our firm's leadership team believes companies committed to sustainability and positive environmental, social, and governance (ESG) can increase in value and develop strategic advantages over time.
Active management may uncover market inefficiencies
Inefficient ESG ratings
Most third-party ESG data is backward-looking. Vendors also emphasize different ESG issues, so their findings may be inconsistent.
Flawed emerging markets indices
Traditional EM benchmarks may be skewed toward sectors and industries that represent historical growth drivers, potentially failing to capture future return opportunities.
Insufficient climate-risk analysis
Markets tend to focus on climate transition risks like regulation or litigation. Our SI Research Team believes an understanding of how physical climate risks affect investment values is also critical.
Undefined impact and climate investing universes
Misperceptions of impact investments stem from limited analyst coverage, new or specialized products, unconventional business models, and a wide range of potential outcomes. Climate-related investments may be underappreciated due to widespread misunderstanding of both climate risks and the growing demand for solutions that help society adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change.
Sustainable investment solutions can meet many objectives
Our sustainable investment solutions are actively managed and designed to address a range of investment goals. They share a common objective: To deliver competitive returns for our clients.
