External FI Investments  &

External Equity Investments

The request for proposal (RFP) stage addresses asset managers’ responsible investment policies, which in turn acts as a starting point for the further dialogue. The following areas, among others, are observed: how the asset manager integrates ESG criteria into their analysis and investment decisions, how responsibility is addressed at the corporate meetings, and whether the asset manager has signed PRI or intends to do so.

In addition, in external equity we introduced a new quarterly reporting template last year, which covers ESG and active ownership reporting. 

Private Equity Investments

The due diligence questionnaire (DDQ) provided by the manager usually covers their ESG initiatives and resourcing and whether the manager has signed the UN PRI. The due diligence material also includes a document covering the manager's ESG policy.

02.3. Indicate the selection process and its ESG/RI components 

          External FI Investments & 
External Equity Investments: 
The selection process involves both investment due diligence and operational due diligence. The latter is conducted by an external party. Investment due diligence includes both quantitative assessment (such as holdings and returns-based analysis) as well as qualitative assessment. Asset manager meetings with an in-depth go-through of the investment cases and the underlying investment philosophy are important part of the qualitative assessment  - and also the stage where ESG integration into investment analysis and decision-making, and the financial materiality impact of these decisions, is especially addressed during the selection process.
Private Equity
ESG is discussed during the due diligence sessions with the general partner. The most relevant aspects of ESG are discussed for the sectors that the manager is investing in. ESG policies are dicsussed both on portfolio company level and on the management company level. We encourage the manager to furher develop and allocate resources to ESG where needed.

ESG performance development targets

ESG score

Our assessment is a holistic one rather than an assignment of pre-determined scores or weights for the factors covered in the DDQ. In our assessment we consider various aspects relating to the asset management firm, including but not limited to, investment team quality, investment philosophy, process and alignment of interests. RI considerations are a natural part of the deep, fundamental-based investment analysis for which we have appreciation in the manager selection.
