Long-term equity investors in good quality companies
We are an active, long-only equity investment business with stewardship and sustainability at the heart of our investment philosophy and culture since 1988. As a team, we have been managing explicit sustainability portfolios since 2005.
How we invest
We treat the money we’re entrusted with as if it were our own long-term savings.
We believe our job is to invest our clients’ capital in high-quality companies with strong management teams that are well positioned to contribute to, and benefit from, sustainable development. We endeavour to pay sensible prices for these investments.
We also believe we have a responsibility to manage our clients’ funds to the mutual benefit of everyone who has a relationship with these companies, including the wider communities in which they operate.
What we mean by sustainability
Our process is deeply qualitative, based on fundamental, bottom-up research and analysis of the sustainability positioning of companies. We meet regularly with management teams, conduct site visits, and commission third party research. Our assessment of company sustainability focuses on:
- Sustainability positioning of products and services.
- Quality of management and treatment of all stakeholders.
- Operational performance and environmental and social impacts.
- Ability to navigate sustainability headwinds and tailwinds such as changing regulations and consumer trends.
Exclusions
We have a detailed exclusions policy explaining the sectors and sorts of companies we will never invest in.
Engagement
We invest time and energy in engaging and encouraging companies to improve their sustainability practices and product offerings.
Voting
We do not outscore voting decisions or any part of the engagement process; this is a core part of the role.
