Our approach to active ownership

Our active ownership model empowers investment teams to undertake high-quality engagements. Find out why active ownership is a key element of the value we bring to our clients.

Sustainable investing models

To support our climate strategy, we have developed net zero alignment frameworks for both our direct and indirect investments. These frameworks are designed to assess where companies, assets and managers stand on their journey towards net zero, providing a structured and consistent way to evaluate ambition, credibility and maturity.

Alongside these frameworks, we continue to develop tools and dashboards that empower our investors to make active decisions. Thoughtful forward-looking analysis allows us to identify risks and opportunities under different climate scenarios, incorporating physical climate risks, and navigate uncertainty and speed of decarbonisation.

Impact investing

Investing with the intent to contribute to measurable positive social or environmental impact, alongside financial returns.
