Schroders: Make an impact through sustainable investing

Investing sustainably is about helping to create a sustainable and more prosperous world for all by allocating capital to areas that deliver both social and investment value. It takes investing further than the traditional relationship between risk and return where a third dimension – impact risk – needs to be embedded into the investment process. Only by considering these three pillars together can we uncover an asset’s real investment potential and achieve the best outcomes for ourselves and the society.

INVESTING FOR PROFIT WITH PURPOSE WITH SCHRODERS

With over 20 years of experience in sustainable investing, we developed a set of analytical tools called ImpactIQ that help us quantify the real sustainability risks and impacts of assets we invest in, so we are able to make quality, informed decisions within our sustainability solutions. Investors in our sustainability solutions can in turn expect more than returns.

Our sustainability solutions

Our suite of sustainable solutions includes Schroder ISF* Global Sustainable Growth, an actively managed equity fund which is designed to identify a small number of exceptional companies with strong fundamentals and strong stakeholder relationships. We believe companies that are managed for the long-term and account for their impact on all stakeholders have the best potential for sustainable growth and durable investment returns, especially with the greater scrutiny on companies’ treatment of stakeholders brought about by the pandemic. We also integrate impactIQ tools’ rigorous assessments into every step of the investment process to identify these sustainability winners.

Schroder ISF Global Sustainable Growth has an edge over other sustainable strategies:

1. A unique approach to building a sustainable portfolio

We utilise our proprietary in-depth, forward-looking, qualitative ‘Sustainability Quotient’ framework to assess the sustainability characteristics of every company we invest in. The framework is consistent and repeatable to shape our analysis and we reject around 50% of companies we look at.

2. Undertake targeted company engagements

Direct engagement with companies is a crucial part of our investment process. We believe proactive engagement is effective in influencing company practices which can help improve shareholder returns and broader societal outcomes.

3. Collaboration between Schroders’ specialised investment teams

The fund leverages the strength of Schroders’ fundamental research resources (of the Schroders Global and International Equity team) and expertise on sustainability and stewardship (of the Schroders Sustainability team).
