RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT AT RATHBONES

As a wealth manager, we are responsible for investing on our clients’ behalf to help them try to achieve their long-term goals. We also recognise that the environment, society and financial stability are intertwined.

With this in mind, we believe it’s in the best interests of our clients that the companies and securities we invest in adopt best practice in managing those environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks that present a risk to the long-term interests of shareholders.

By addressing ESG issues, a responsible investment approach not only serves to protect the planet and people. It also preserves wealth and generates returns via enhanced risk management and the identification of promising investment opportunities. With responsible investment, building a sustainable future and creating value go hand in hand.

Our latest Responsible Investment report explains our thinking, approach and actions.

Responsible Investment in Two Minutes

Our video on responsible investment outlines the challenges facing people and planet and how these can affect the value of investments. The animation also explains how we approach responsible investment.

We set out our four principles that help us address these problems, identify the opportunities and show the action we’re taking: ESG integration, engagement with consequences, voting with purpose and transparency.
