Integrated research aiming to help mitigate risks and enhance returns
For many teams, ESG research is an input or investment lens to help assess the value of investments. The “weight” or prominence of this input differs based in large part on the ESG topic, the security type, and the team’s investment discipline and philosophy and process.
ESG research is available to all investment teams.
