Describe what processes are in place and the outputs or outcomes achieved
Listed equities – ESG incorporation
Listed equities form a very small part of our internally managed portfolio. The majority of our equity exposure is achieved through derivatives where we are monitoring liquidity in "ESG-friendly" indices.
Cash
Cash balances are either invested in externally managed cash funds or held with a custodian. We do not currently review custodians from an ESG perspective.
