Portfolios with Purpose

ESG integration and engagement are fundamental to our responsible investment and research processes—we integrate material ESG factors into most of our actively managed strategies (79% of our actively managed AUM, as of June 30, 2024). Many investors want solutions that can enable them to invest for financial objectives—and to do so with purpose. Because responsible investing isn’t “one size fits all,” we developed a diverse range of portfolios that are designed to achieve financial objectives with a dedicated ESG focus.
