Our Approach to Responsible Investing
Sustainable investing has different meanings to managers across the asset management industry. Therefore, we firmly believe investors seeking to diversify their portfolios with responsible investments require more than a one-size-fits-all approach that doesn't compromise their returns. We take a pragmatic and flexible approach when evaluating and sourcing sustainable considerations in our investment process.

Responsible Investment Policy
