Responsible Investing
At LDS Investments we define responsible investing as an investment process that incorporates nonfinancial ‘classic’ investment factors into our approach. This enables our shareholders to align their values with their investments, in a rapidly changing world, at the environmental, social and governance level.
How does
it work?
We consider ESG factors along with traditional financial metrics for investments at various levels of our investment process, in order to help identify those investments that have the potential to deliver sustainable returns. This integration takes place during the whole investment process, from Quantitative Screening to Fundamental assessment and Qualitative analysis, at sector and corporate levels.
Why is this
important to us?
We believe that we as portfolio managers and investors have the obligation and the possibility to make a change in the way corporates are operating and thinking regarding social and environmental responsibilities by putting pressure on them through our investment criteria.
ESG Management
We integrate a robust sustainability management system throughout the investment lifecycle; including an ESG assessment, management and reporting methodology. We commit to invest in a responsible way by actively integrating Environmental, Social and Governance considerations in our investment selection and monitoring process. We intend to contribute to measurable positive social or environmental impact, alongside financial returns.
LDS Investments’ newly launched sub-fund is in full compliance with the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).
