Fast reading:
- We believe that to truly understand the risks and opportunities of an investment, we must consider all material factors, including ESG considerations.
- For private equity – a long-hold asset class with investment horizons of between five and seven years per investment – it is even more crucial to maintain a good understanding of all relevant ESG risks and opportunities, as these risks may materialise during the holding period or affect the exit prospects of a company. Good management of ESG risks, especially when better than peers, can enable a company to outperform over the long term.
- The assessment of ESG risks and opportunities is fully integrated into our investment process and forms a core part of our fundamental analysis.
