[OPTIONAL]
Property: In order for an external manager to be appointed, they have to sign and thereby agree to our responsible investing policy. Furthermore, they are obliged to take part in the annual GRESB survey. This enables us to keep track on a fund’s ESG performance and could be a starting point for fruitful engagement on individual aspects. Lastly, managers have to report on a number of key indicators on a quarterly basis. This means that an external manager needs to be willing to adhere to all these requirements in order to be eligible as a manager.
