ESG Integration

By considering ESG topics and factors along with traditional factors, we seek to identify financially material ESG factors to obtain an independent, comprehensive view of the investment.

 

The exact factors we consider depend on their materiality to the property and strategy’s investment objective.  Our strategies have diverse characteristics and risk and therefore have different evaluations although they follow the same general approach.
