What does Sustainable investing mean for Newton Investment Management?
Newton understands the investments it makes can have far-reaching influence – not just on its clients’ financial prospects, but on environmental and social factors shaping those prospects, such as:
- Climate change
- Human rights in supply chains
- Diversity and fairness across workforces.
Newton believes the interests of investors, and of society more widely, can be mutually supportive. Reflecting this belief, Newton is an active and engaged owner of financial assets, investing in a manner it believes meets its responsibilities to clients and society as a whole.
Newton aims to look at investment prospects from all relevant angles, in search of the widest perspective possible on the investment landscape. Its multidimensional research platform has fundamental, in-house research as a key component, but also includes thematic, ESG-focused, quantitative, geopolitical, forensic accounting, credit, investigative and private-market research. It believes this approach leads to better investment decisions.
Newton’s sustainable strategies aim to encourage a better allocation of capital that leads to the generation of sustainable risk-adjusted returns for clients alongside improved long-term global outcomes for society and the environment.
