ESG Integration

At GIA, we have a fundamental belief that companies who incorporate ESG practices into their processes and work flow tend to generate compelling financial results.

Our philosophy is formulated around two principles that must coexist in the portfolios: return-oriented investments and ESG compliant issuers. We are guided by the following philosophical principles:

  • We prioritize companies and sovereigns taking steps to enhance social wellbeing, promote sustainability and protect the environment through their processes, products, actions or behavior;
  • ESG measurements are complementary to our credit analysis and all investments will be selected with an excess/total return mindset.

We have developed a proprietary multi-factor scoring methodology to analyze a company’s or sovereign’s adherence to ESG principles. Our methodology has been integrated into our investment process and systems enabling us to build globally diversified portfolios that meet our clients’ individual ESG directives.

We May not be Alone
