A Proud Environmental, Social, & Governance (ESG) Investor
As a long-term investor, incorporating ESG considerations into our approach is an essential part of who we are and what we do. With a mandate to grow the value of our clients’ funds, assessing and managing investment risk, including ESG risk, is an integral part of how we meet our responsibility.
Our clients share our belief that companies who employ robust environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices are better positioned to generate long-term value than similar companies with less-favourable practices.
We are guided by our ESG beliefs and our ESG principles, which together, create consistency across asset classes and act as a compass that guides all aspects of our strategy – a strategy which is comprised of four key components and represents our corporate-wide approach.
We integrate ESG analysis and risk management in all investment processes, from supporting clients’ asset allocation decisions to individual investment decisions within our portfolios.
Through engagement and advocacy, we apply our influence on companies in which we invest, our partners, and other participants in capital markets.

We actively seek opportunities to invest in ESG-themed investments that contribute to improved long-term outcomes for clients and reinforce our investment beliefs.
We use our learnings across all ESG activities, as well as our understanding of emerging trends, to generate insights that help us continuously adapt and improve our strategies, processes, and approaches.
