Our mission is to empower and support the Australian financial services industry to grow and protect the financial wellbeing of investors.
As part of a global business, we're committed to turning our own research into managers' approach to ESG and sustainability, on ourselves. We recognise that to maintain our core values of integrity, diversity, continuous improvement and a commitment to quality, we also must adhere to a culture of transparency. We also recognise that societal issues such as climate change are major concerns for key stakeholders across our staff, clients and society in general.
Since 2020, we have increased our focus on providing clients with greater insight and analysis into how funds incorporate responsible investment principals into their investment processes and objectives. As such, we also see it as appropriate to understand our own impacts on the economy, society and all stakeholders which we seek to serve, and be more transparent on key issues.
In 2024, we became a member of the Responsible Investment Association Australia (RIAA). RIAA champions responsible investing and a sustainable financial system in Australia and New Zealand and is dedicated to ensuring capital is aligned with achieving a healthy society, environment and economy. It is the largest and most active network of people and organisations engaged in responsible, ethical and impact investing across the region.
