Philosophy
What we mean by ‘high-quality’ companies

We believe that:
- Companies that contribute to sustainable outcomes by offering solutions to meet these changing demands will enjoy superior growth, returns and wider competitive moats in the long term.
- Strong and/or improving ESG credentials are a key component of the quality of a company and its management.
- A strong and sustainable competitive advantage is also vital in sustaining a company’s returns on capital over the long term.
Process
Our sustainable themes mapped to primary SDGs

Investing for change
- The 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent a catalyst for change, creating new investment opportunities
- Our eight sustainable themes draw on these SDGs and encompass a range of social and environmental outcomes
- We believe investment based on these themes can deliver not just impact for investors but solid financial returns
There is no guarantee that the investment objective will be achieved or that return expectations will be met.
