Seeking Sustainable Leaders: A World in Transition
We believe that that impetus toward net zero commitments is growing. COP26 delivered some important symbolic gestures and we see critical mass in corporate net-zero pledges and plans. As such, it will become increasingly imprudent in our view to ignore climate and climate policy risks in portfolios.
Furthermore, rapid societal and technological change is driving a corporate evolution, creating some powerful investment themes.
We believe that the companies that are best placed to benefit from this disruption are quality businesses where sustainability reinforces competitive advantage.
Our global and European sustainable equity strategies offer investors a concentrated, risk controlled portfolio where sustainability, a value chain lens and engagement are core to the approach.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
Societal and technological change drives corporate change. Rapid societal and technological change is driving corporate evolution and disruption.
