Our objective approach to environmental investment is driven by over a decade of proprietary research enabling the construction of our proprietary sustainable investment factor. Research, both internal and external, has demonstrated that our Resource Efficiency factor is uncorrelated to other common factors and is a predictor of future firm value.

As companies globally set increasingly ambitious Paris aligned or Net Zero targets, our objective research process effectively measures a company’s sustainable action vs its sustainable intent. In order to meet our clients’ goals, we utilise this sustainable investment factor as the core source of financial and environmental return across all of our funds and strategies. Our portfolios overweight efficient companies and underweight, or short, inefficient companies, while targeting specific risk profiles and investment styles.

Importantly, all our portfolios demonstrate significantly less ownership of Carbon, Water and Waste than their respective benchmarks.
