Why choose Dynamic for sustainable investing?

We define sustainable investing as the process of considering relevant ESG-related factors in the investment management process aiming to enhance shareholder value while considering a broader impact on society.

As active managers, we consider ESG factors in our approach, engage in deep proprietary research and employ a thorough approach to risks and opportunities with dedicated support from our ESG Investment Committee. Our products span traditional mandates with risk and return investment objectives where ESG factors are not a primary focus, but are considered when deemed material, through the lens of how they could impact risk and return, to ESG-focused mandates that incorporate specific ESG considerations into the investment objectives alongside risk and reward.

Our ESG approach

Our investment teams use proprietary fundamental research along with various external data sources to formulate an independent assessment of ESG-related factors. We do not rely on third-party ESG research, and ESG scores from external sources are just one input into our rigorous research process.

Meetings and direct engagement between our investment professionals and the entities in which they invest provides the opportunity to communicate views and concerns to management, while also fostering a deeper understanding of specific companies and issues. As active managers, we analyze and push for more regular disclosure from issuers.

Proxy voting is an important part of our best practices when managing our client's assets, and an essential component of the investment process. Our formal proxy voting guidelines ensure that all proxies, including those concerning ESG-related matters, are considered in a manner consistent with the best interests of our clients.
