Financial and social value of investing sustainably
We believe 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
Short-termism
Investors often focus on near-term metrics like quarterly earnings rather than sustainable growth. We believe longer holding periods plus high active share may yield better results.
Inefficient ESG ratings
Most third-party ESG data is backward-looking. Vendors also emphasize different ESG issues, so their findings are inconsistent.
Flawed emerging markets indices
Traditional EM benchmarks are often 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. We believe 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 are 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.
