Investment approach

We focus our investment approach in long-term performance by fully integrating sustainable analysis into our decision-making at every step.

Comprehensive, nuanced and multifaceted, our research process incorporates secular analysis, topical and industry research, company analysis and input form a variety of external subject matter experts.

The first step in our investment process is to form a strategic view on how certain areas of the economy, such as industry or a region, are expected to change over the long term. We are interested in understanding the forces shaping company profitability and value in the future.

Our analysis includes conventional drives, such as market share, input cost pressure and changes in consumer tastes, in additional to broader sustainability challenges.
