When evaluating and selecting external investment managers for specific mandates, OPB considers the manager's ESG practices as one factor and OPB takes these into account when selecting the manager. These external managers execute investment decisions that are based on evaluating the overall trade-offs between risk and return.
We seek fund managers that share our belief in the importance of good management of ESG factors to enhance long-term value.
