Sampension conducts a DD-process on external managers on Private Equity, Property, Infrastructure and Forestry. The DDQ comprises amongst other things ESG-subjects and the selection of managers depends on a match of ESG-profile aligned with the ESG policies of Sampension. External managers have to sign a sideletter in which relevant parts of our investment policy regarding responsible investments have been specified.
Investments in 'Hedge funds' are primarily Global Macro Hedge funds without any real possibilities of integrating ESG.
