Sustainability and returns are mutually complementary in our investment strategy. For 300 years, we have been investing to create sustainable value for our clients. Generating returns without losing sight of the environment, society and economic impact. We tread carefully and will always be selective whenever opportunities arise.
This is how it works: Our strategy is informed by the notion that in the long run, businesses that are wholly committed to sustainability, quality and diversification will deliver more value both in economic and in social terms – and at a lower risk – for the world we live in and our shareholders.
Businesses that are wholly committed to sustainability, quality and diversification deliver more value both in economic and in social terms in the long run. And at a lower risk. That is why they are key to our strategy.
We invest in businesses that we believe have a unique business model. Their focus on sustainability and good stewardship enables them to achieve sustained, stable and above average profitability. We call this ‘sustainable quality’.
Equity
We buy bonds using a top-down strategy. We assess the ESG profile of each corporate and government bond, apply sustainability criteria and exclude businesses and countries that do not make the cut.
