beliefs and methods

 

 

Positive impact can go hand in hand with attractive financial returns

Beliefs

Impact investing is going mainstream

  • Investors are increasingly demanding more impact from their investments 
  • Institutional investors increasingly consider impact as a fiduciary duty

Companies with impactful businesses have:

  • Favourable returns. Market return or greater over the long term
  • Lower risk. Reduced risk of poor execution and exposure to policy change
  • Lower volatility. Reduced exposure to harmful inputs and controversies
  • Lower financing costs. Reduced cost of capital

 

Investment Philisophy

  • Impact investing can achieve market rates of return or better over the long term
  • Active management can enhance impact, reduce risk and drive higher returns
  • Rigorous fundamental analysis is needed to uncover the best investments and avoids greenwashing
  • A global multi-asset class strategy can help to optimize a portfolio’s impact while achieving a targeted risk-adjusted return
