Strategy Overview

A high-conviction, sustainability-themed strategy that invests in companies positioned to thrive as we transition to a more sustainable economy.

Investment Process

The strategy uses a thematic approach to identify companies addressing sustainability challenges in three areas: Climate Solutions, Economic Empowerment, and Healthy Living. A team of fundamental, sector focused analysts conduct bottom-up financial analysis including a rigorous integrated review of financial and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. The Investment Management Committee, comprised of portfolio managers and analysts, meets periodically to review and approve recommendations to the buy-list recommended by the analysts. A strategy team, headed by the lead Portfolio Manager, rebalances the portfolio on at least a quarterly basis to identify the best sub-set of names from the buy-list at that particular point of time. The team leverages an optimization process that helps monitor and control portfolio characteristic exposures while overweighting companies based on a proprietary alpha score that includes an analyst rating. The portfolio has no fossil fuel exposure.

The S&P Indices are widely recognized, unmanaged indices of common stock. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. The S&P 1500 combines three indices, the S&P 500, the S&P MidCap 400, and the S&P SmallCap 600 to cover approximately 90% of the U.S.market capitalization.

The MSCI EAFE Index is a broadly recognized index to measure international equity performance. It comprises the MSCI country indexes capturing large and mid-cap equities across developed markets in Europe, Australasia and the Far East, excluding the U.S. and Canada. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Every investment carries the potential for both profit and loss.

Investments in smaller companies generally carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies for various reasons, such as narrower markets, limited financial resources and less liquid stock.
