Private equity and hedge funds: Zurich invests in private equity predominantly through the selection of third-party private equity fund managers. Zurich manages only a relatively small amount of direct private equity investments made either through co-investments (in-scope for environmental, social and governance or 'ESG' integration - see OO 11.4 for further details) or as part of 'legacy' portfolios (out-of-scope for ESG integration). The same strategy applies for hedge funds.

Real estate: in a selected number of instances, real estate portfolios are managed by external asset managers. In such cases, the same processes apply as described in SAM 02.5.
