RGI’s top priorities are to do our best for our clients by maximising their portfolio returns and protecting their interests. At the same time if a responsible approach is taken to investing activities there is also the possibility of wider benefits to society as a whole.
Responsible Investment is an investment approach that integrates environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into investment analysis and decisions. It is an important aspect of the service we offer our clients. RGI seeks an approach to investing which integrates ESG analysis into day-to-day investment activities. This is combined with an active engagement approach which has the potential to influence change and encourage better practice with regard to the environment, society and governance from the companies in which our managers invest. Not only does this approach provide a valuable further insight for our fund managers over and above more traditional financial metrics, but also there it is logical that those companies demonstrating best practices toward ESG matters may benefit from enhanced business prospects.

RGI recognises the important role that environmental, societal and governance factors play in fundamental company analysis, as well as portfolio construction and maintenance. In turn we seek an approach to the management of our portfolio’s that encompasses not only the most material ESG risks and opportunities for our investee companies but also a detailed review of company specific factors to aid the analysis of every aspect of relevant ESG exposure.
