The Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), the world’s leading proponent of responsible investing, has delivered its 2023 PRI Assessment Reports for its signatories. The PRI conducts the assessment every year to measure and understand the progress made by its signatories to implement and improve their responsible investment practices. The only area where we narrowly missed out on a 5-star rating still garnered a very impressive 4-star rating, further solidifying its commitment to responsible investment practices.
Head of Stewardship, Sheila Stefani said, ‘We are really pleased to receive another year of pleasing results in our PRI assessment. It exemplifies our deep-rooted commitment to integrating responsible investment across all asset classes’.
Since inception, we have embedded responsible investment in the investment solutions delivered to Partner Funds and have effectively delivered stewardship activity on their behalf over the past five years. There is belief that the integration of responsible investment factors supports long-term risk-adjusted returns; responsible investment represents a core part of the investment process in each asset class and mandate managed on behalf of clients.
