Performance review

Performance review

Performance for our All-Cap sustainability strategies

Our investment philosophy focuses on delivering strong absolute returns over cycles.

This focus means that we define risk as the loss of clients’ capital rather than in terms of deviation from any benchmark index. As a result, our performance is likely to lag steeply rising markets, but deliver better results in falling markets. This approach has served clients well over time and over cycles.

Below is the performance for our All-Cap sustainability strategies.
