Our investment framework seeks to invest in companies that contribute to the development of a more sustainable global economy, through their revenue alignment with ten environmental and social themes. At the same time, it helps us stay on the right side of disruption by avoiding companies we consider to be involved in activities that are harmful to the environment and society.

We believe this approach will provide clients with a persistent return source, deliver future compound growth and help mitigate downside risk.

The guiding principle of our investment philosophy evolves around: Is the world a better place because of this company?”
