We incorporate sustainability insights and ESG information into our research in pursuit of delivering outcomes with more precision – especially over the long-term. Importantly, we do not make investment decisions based on ESG information in isolation; instead, we assess a variety of economic factors, including risk and valuation metrics. Our approach is to broaden the total amount of information we consider in order to improve investment analysis.
