  • Finding the Opportunity In
    Finding the ESG disclosures: the bedrock of the opportunity sustainable finance agenda in ESG Executive summary To be successful, the development of sustainable finance in Europe needs to be grounded in access to high quality and meaningful ESG disclosures. While the quality and reliability of ESG data has improved considerably, so has the sophistication of investors and their needs for improved ESG disclosure. Investors find the most value in ESG disclosures when sustainability is embedded in the DNA of the firm as part of their competitive advantage to create long-term value. Companies that create societal value should benefit from changing policy and consumer trends, resulting in more sustainable cash flows, a lower cost of capital and higher valuations. While no standardised reporting framework can ever fully capture and reflect this. Reporting standards should, however, ensure that we move away from boilerplate disclosures and box-ticking approaches to consider the ESG risks and opportunities that are material to each company, industry and sector. While numerous standards already exist in this space, no single regulatory standard provides a comprehensive framework for companies to disclose in a way that would meet investors’ needs. Greater convergence in reporting could fill the gaps in accessing core ESG metrics that investors rely on to develop their ESG screening tools and assessment methodologies. Convergence in ESG reporting standards would also enable such data to be audited, which is becoming increasingly important to investors who base capital allocation decisions on such information. Beyond these core metrics, we need to connect ESG disclosures with real world outcomes, both adverse impacts as well as opportunities for transition.

  • Quality Driven Growth: an Enduring Combination
    Investment Focus Quality-Driven Growth: An Enduring Combination Over the past several years, market observers and participants have focused to the point of obsession on the performance and possible trajectories of growth and value stocks. In our view, however, the quiet, steady dominance of a third style makes the debate beside the point. International quality stocks have consistently outperformed their regional growth and value peers for the last two decades. Quality-driven growth investing has been an enduring combination. Done properly, we believe it has the potential to identify companies across many sectors and industries with high levels of financial productivity, lasting competitive advantages, and reinvestment opportunities for growth. Collectively, we believe companies with these characteristics can deliver a consistent pattern of performance through different investment cycles. 2 Introduction market environments, with the notable exception of very strong rising markets, which tend to favor value stocks.
