Socially Responsible Investing

Investing for financial gain and doing good do not have to be mutually exclusive concepts. We offer investors a range of portfolios to allow them to express their social and sustainable preferences with their investments.

Individuals generally have three major ways of expressing their social and sustainability preferences.

For those investors wishing to express their social and sustainability preferences with their investments we offer a range of Socially Responsible Investing portfolios.

Socially Responsible Investing or SRI is the broad term for an investment approach which seeks to consider investments delivering both a financial return and a social benefit. With an SRI approach the investment managers take a proactive role in ensuring each company they invest into acts responsibly on a range of environmental, social or governance (ESG) issues.

Each of our nine SRI model portfolios emphasise environmental sustainability while targeting higher expected returns, by employing the following principles:

Systematically evaluate company sustainability metrics across all major industries
Emphasise investment in companies acting in more environmentally sound ways than their industry counterparts
Exclude or underweight companies based on other key environmental and social considerations, while maintaining broad diversification
Employ a disciplined investment process that results in highly diversified and low-cost portfolios, and is targeted at the long-term drivers of higher expected return
