01.2. Describe your organisation’s approach to ESG incorporation and the reasons for choosing the particular strategy/strategies.

Our investment philosophy demands a deep understanding of both operations and strategic initiatives of all companies we invest in. Our fundamental approach drives us to investigate the governance structure, natural resource dependency and social approach of portfolio companies. All this information is taken into account during our decision making process.

Companies are monitored closely and analysts have to demonstrate a thorough knowledge of the company and sector, obtained through market research, conversations with senior management of the company and its competitors, detailed valuation models, and comparisons with global peers when applicable. 

Our team is constantly analyzing the changes and tendencies of ESG factors which could impact invested sector or the targeted companies and are prepared to include in all financial analysis ESG factors.

Also, following the corporate guideline of not investing in some pre-determined sectors and companies, our team excludes from all samples such sectors/company. 

Finally, the targeted sectors and companies are compared to local and global peers in order to find which one has the best processes and culture.

01.3. If assets are managed using a combination of ESG incorporation strategies, briefly describe how these combinations are used. [Optional]

The analysts thoroughly study the fund’s investment universe and conduct a detailed selection and monitoring process. Key drivers of this process are the investment pillars, which are based on conviction, knowledge and quality companies. Therefore, ESG Factors are embedded when analyzing and selecting the investment universe. Additionally, the team selects companies with strong management, which is a key factor because the investment team needs to trust that the companies’ management is capable of implementing turn around plans if an adverse situation arises from ESG issues.

Our PMs area aware that exposure to stock market movements in a single country may be significantly affected by political or economic developments, government action or natural events that do not affect a fund investing in broader markets.

Risk management is fundamental to our investment approach. We manage risk from a qualitative perspective through: deep understanding of operating activities, constant interaction with management, avoiding excessive company, market cap and sector concentrations and adjust positions according to liquidity, among others. From a quantitative perspective, risk is monitored and managed daily by and independent risk team with the use of tools and reports, such as VaR, Stress tests, Scenario & sensitivity analysis, Factor risk analysis, Concentration limits, Liquidity and capitalization analysis and Performance attribution.
