  • The integration of ESG factors in the investment decision-making process has become key to achieving sustainable long-term returns.
  • We incorporate ESG principles into our investment strategies globally using our sustainability framework of Invest, Advocate and Inhabit. It not only helps to mitigate risks but also to unlock significant opportunities.
  • Botswana is an illiquid, concentrated market with a very narrow investor base, which informs our investment philosophy and shapes our engagement. The quality of both governance and capital allocation rank highly in our engagements with boards of directors and management.
