Invesco is an independent investment management firm dedicated to delivering an investment experience that helps people get more out of life. We are privileged to manage more than $1.2 trillion in assets on behalf of clients worldwide. We have specialised investment teams managing investments across a comprehensive range of asset classes, investment styles and geographies with an on-the-ground presence in more than 25 countries.
We apply ESG (environmental, social, governance) concepts in several dimensions, from the products we offer and our investment processes, to our corporate behaviour. Invesco has been implementing ESG strategies for over 30 years, and today delivers these through equities, fixed income, multi-asset, alternatives, real estate, ETFs and bespoke solutions. Each investment center has a unique approach defined in its investment process as well as the respective asset class.
Within our investment process our approach focuses on integrating ESG risk and opportunity factors into investment decisions, differentiated by asset classes and decentralized by local investment centres. This integration extends to engagement and active ownership, and we discuss material ESG factors with investee companies or issuers, track and monitor engagement, and vote according to a proprietary approach to proxy voting.
Our approach on ESG integration – where every investment centre defines their own holistic ESG approach – is we believe, key to achieving a robust ESG practice across all investment centres. As a consequence, every analyst, whether credit or equities focused, also understands the ESG risks inherent to a respective investment. ESG risks are generally evaluated and identified at the security level and may impact portfolio performance. Material ESG considerations may adversely impact the fundamentals of the securities the portfolios hold, which in turn may impact shareholder value.
