ESG Integration

ESG Integration

ESG integration is the practice of incorporating financially material environmental, social and governance (ESG) data or information into the investment decision process with the objective of enhancing risk-adjusted returns of our clients’ portfolios. Unless otherwise stated in Fund documentation or included within the Fund's investment objective, inclusion of this statement does not imply that the Fund has an ESG-aligned investment objective or strategy, but rather describes how ESG data or information is considered as part of the overall investment process.

The Fund manager takes into account ESG considerations in combination with other information in the research and decision phases of the investment process. The Fund manager conducts regular portfolio reviews between with the Risk and Quantitative Analysis group and the Chief Investment Officers, which may include discussion of material ESG risks, as well as exposure to sustainability-related business involvements, climate-related metrics, and other factors. The Fund also includes an option overlay strategy; ESG factors are not considered in the investment process for the options overlay strategy.
