What is Good Investment?

Our aim is to deliver consistent, risk-adjusted returns to our clients in a way that aligns with their values and furthers their mission. We achieve this through the following principles.

Act

Investment markets can only be as healthy as the environment and communities that support them. We act to bring about positive social and environmental change by:
  • using our ownership rights to improve the sustainability of the assets in which we invest
  • bringing investors together to address systemic risks that have not had the attention that they require
  • seeking to be a catalyst for change in the investment industry.
By accelerating progress in meeting some of the world’s major sustainability challenges, we can reduce the risk of negative impacts on the performance of our clients’ assets and promote the smooth functioning of society.

Assess

We assess environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards because we believe that a combination of legislation, regulation and changing societal preferences will impact negatively upon the most unsustainable businesses.
We avoid investing in companies that have uncompensated, unwanted, unwarranted or unmitigated ESG risks as evidenced by:
  • poor management or weak corporate governance
  • an unacceptable social or environmental impact
  • not demonstrating a willingness to improve through investor engagement.
Investment markets have a poor record in pricing these risks. Our ESG assessment framework supports our aim to deliver consistent long-term risk-adjusted returns to our clients.

Align

We are the guardians, not the owners, of the assets that we manage. Accordingly, we have a responsibility to:
  • align investment portfolios with our clients’ objectives, values and beliefs
  • report on the outcomes of all our work
  • be transparent about everything that we do on our clients’ behalf.
By investing in a way that we believe is aligned with our clients’ values, we are better able to meet their objectives and offer more than just a financial return.
This is what we call Good Investment.
