01.5. 組織の投資原則および全体の投資戦略、ならびに、ESG 要因および実体経済の影響をどのように考慮に入れているのかについて説明して下さい。

The Plan’s investment policy outlines the Plan’s investment objectives and the framework used in defining the Plan’s strategic asset allocation (SAA).  Asset volatility risk together with downside risk measures are considered the key indicators of the Plan’s overall investment risk and define the Plan’s overall risk appetite to pursue investment returns.

The Plan’s assets are diversified across a variety of asset classes. Investments within each asset class are further diversified across funds, managers, strategies, geographies, and sectors to limit adverse impact from individual investments. 

The Plan’s ESG policy aims to meaningfully integrate ESG factors into the investment decision-making process, to the extent these can materially affect the risk-return profile of the Plan’s investments. The Plan's oversight committee reviews periodically the Plan's approach to ESG.

The following set of investment beliefs underpin the Plan’s investment policy:

  • Plan liabilities should be explicitly considered.
  • Investment strategies should be developed based on forward-looking insights.
  • Diversification across less correlated risk factors improves portfolio risk-return profile.
  • Illiquidity risk is rewarded over the long term.
  • The SAA drives investment performance over the long run.
  • Consideration of ESG factors can enhance the investment process through a better understanding of risks and opportunities.

01.6. 責任投資アプローチをカバーする組織の投資ポリシーの重要な構成要素、バリエーション、例外事項を簡潔に説明してください。 [任意]

The Plan has a responsible investment policy in place since 2004. This policy has been regularly reviewed in light of new developments in responsible investing, or as part of regular strategic discussions. More recently, the Plan’s oversight committee approved in July 2014 an updated and reinforced policy on ESG integration based on a principled and pragmatic approach in accordance with the fiduciary standard applicable to the administration and investment of Plan assets, and endorsed an investment approach that encompasses an informed consideration of ESG risks and opportunities underlying plan investments, where such issues are material and relevant.

Thus, the Plan’s ESG Policy is based on the following principles:

  1. It is important for the Plan – as long-term investors and asset owner – to integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in the overall investment decision-making process.
  2. Consideration of ESG factors, including but not limited to environmental practices, worker safety and health standards, and corporate governance, can add value to the Plan’s investment process, and can affect the assessment of the risk and return characteristics of investments, even as the relative importance of these factors can vary across asset classes, industry sectors, geography, time, and structure of the investment opportunities.
  3. Commitment to encouraging external managers that manage plans assets to adopt policies and practices that enhance good governance and long-term corporate financial performance.

In the context of the objective of seeking the best risk-adjusted returns compatible with its risk profile and in line with the applicable fiduciary standards, staff implement this policy and its underlying principles by, inter alia:

  1. Integrating ESG factors into investment and risk analysis.
  2. Taking into account ESG factors in due diligence, manager selection, structuring and monitoring of investments and assessment of portfolio risks in asset classes and investments, particularly where such factors are considered likely to be significant, and in keeping with applicable regulatory standards, industry norms and investment best practices.
  3. Staying abreast of evolving developments and best practices by engaging with and reaching out to like-minded institutional investors and asset owners, and by collaborating on improved and greater ESG-related disclosures.
