Responsible investment
Responsible investment is integrated across the full investment process, from manager selection and due diligence to ongoing monitoring and portfolio oversight.
Our approach is based on a structured and consistent framework, focused on how underlying managers identify, assess and manage ESG-related risks and opportunities as part of their investment processes. The emphasis is on governance, alignment and transparency as key drivers of long-term value creation.
We assess managers based on their ability to:
- Integrate ESG considerations into investment decision-making
- Demonstrate clear governance structures and accountability
- Manage material risks at portfolio company level
- Report in a consistent and decision-useful manner
These considerations are applied across venture, growth and buyout investments and form part of a broader evaluation of investment quality and manager discipline. A defined exclusion framework is applied as part of this approach.
Tax considerations are integrated into our investment assessment, with a focus on alignment between structure, economic substance and value creation. We prioritise transparent and commercially grounded structures and do not invest in arrangements involving non-compliant jurisdictions or aggressive tax planning.
