Investment Style
Our investment style is sector agnostic. We build an actively managed, high-conviction portfolio of 40 to 50 holdings. We focus on companies that the fund believes to provide a high overall positive environmental and/or societal impact (the environment, customers, suppliers, employees, society, and investors).
We consider every investment closely to ensure it is positively aligned with the UN SDGs aligned Impact Goals.
The strategy combines our Total Stakeholder Impact approach and longstanding core Asia ex Japan ‘Country Centric Fundamental Analysis’ investment process.
Our Investment Approach
- Each country specialist focuses on his / her respective market of expertise, understanding the country specific dynamics including ESG issues and incorporating these into stock selection decisions.
- A differentiated approach of identifying businesses and companies that the fund believes to contribute or will contribute to solving social or environmental problems based on our proprietary framework forms the initial basis for our stock selection process.
- Fundamental bottom-up analysis, based on material financial and non-financial aspects and combined with our Total Stakeholder Impact approach are core elements of the portfolio construction of 40 to 50 holdings.
Further details of the sustainability strategy are described in the tab “Sustainability-related disclosure”.
