"Our ESG philosophy, which is really something that is owned and believed in by the individual investment professionals that work here at Neuberger, is a belief that ESG factors can be material to investment performance over the medium to long term from both a risk and an opportunity perspective."

Neuberger Berman is committed to supporting and upholding conventions that seek to ban the production of controversial weapons. We are therefore committed across all of our European-domiciled equity and fixed income UCITS funds to not invest in securities issued by companies that we believe are involved in the manufacture of controversial weapons.
