Investment approach
We analyse, decide and evaluate through rigorous research, both qualitatively and quantitatively, both fundamentally and technically.
Risk Management
To manage single stock risk, portfolio risk and market risk, we have in place a comprehensive risk management framework that spans across portfolio construction, execution and management.
Impact and Sustainability
Screening out sectors and activities
We have internal criteria in place to ensure that we exclude companies and/or projects from our investment portfolio which do not align with our values. The following pointers highlight criteria that are against our institutional principles:
Human Dignity
Health and safety: Adult entertainment, alcohol, firearms and weapons, gambling, radioactive materials, tobacco.
Human rights: Child labour, forced labour, human trafficking, violation of human rights-related norms, including Indigenous Peoples rights.
Environment Stewardship
Nature and environment: Deforestation, hazardous substance and contamination, illegal and irresponsible mining and exploitation of natural resources.
Living animals: Animal testing, factory farming, fur and specialty leather, animal captivity and exploitation, illegal poaching.
Governance Practices
Bribery and corruption, manipulation through accounting, tax evasion and violation of legislations, terrorism.
Scoring sustainability risks and opportunities
Acknowledging and understanding sustainability-related risks and opportunities contributes to our investment decision-making. As such, we have developed a proprietary rating system. We collect and analyse publicly available information to ensure that the companies we invest in have sustainable competitive advantages.
We also have an internal policy in place to manage risks related to potential adverse sustainability impact across our investments.
Aligning with our wellbeing pillars
We meaningfully invest in companies which create impact through their core products and services, as well as their basic functioning. Each company we select in our portfolios positively contribute to at least one of our wellbeing pillars.
