At present, JOHCM does not have a dedicated ESG/sustainable investing team. Pendal Group Limited, our parent company, owns Regnan which is an Australian based long standing provider of ESG research and consulting. We believe that clients are better served if issues such as ESG are incorporated into the fund management decision making process. Where expertise is needed on specific issues we can source this internally from Regnan, who are world leading ESG experts, or from external providers.
Upcoming ESG product launch
In December 2019, JOHCM announced the launch of a Global Equity Impact strategy through our socially responsible and impact investment affiliate Regnan, following the appointment of a Global Equity Impact investment team. The newly-hired four-person team will be based in JOHCM's London office. There will be dedicated ESG/sustainable hires on the back of this team and for future strategic growth of our responsible investing initiatives. The Global Equity Impact strategy is expected to launch in H2 2020. Further details are provided on the website:
