As asset owners and managers, we have the responsibility and the ability to exert influence and contribute to positive environmental and societal change.
It has often been claimed that a limitation of sustainable multi-asset investing is the challenge of assessing all asset classes through a sustainability lens. In our view, this is simply not the case today.

Investment objectives and performance targets are subject to change and may not necessarily be achieved, losses may be made.
