"When we invest assets on your behalf, our unwavering focus is on delivering the best risk-adjusted outcomes, guided by your best interests. Financial innovation in responsible investing has always been a driving force behind our global growth, and our commitment to this remains steadfast."
Three convictions underpin our responsible investing ambition
01
Serving your best interests with a holistic view of your investments
As a responsible asset manager, we serve your best interests with a holistic view of your investments. We believe that the integration of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria in investment decisions is a driver of long-term financial performance.
02
Delivering meaningful change through our stewardship activities
As a shareholder of numerous companies via the funds and mandates we manage on your behalf, we carry out stewardship activities with your best interest at heart. Our goal is to foster change to add value over a long-term horizon.
03
Supporting the resilience and long-term stability of the economic system in which we all operate
As the link between savers and companies, we have a responsibility to support and shape the long-term stability and resilience of the economic system in which we all operate. We do so by continuously innovating our technological capabilities to offer the best possible range of responsible investment solutions.
