Strategy Overview
A high-conviction, low-turnover large-cap growth strategy combining deep research and independent ESG analysis to identify high-quality businesses with durable growth, sustainable advantages, and attractive valuations.
Investment Approach
Sustainable Growth combines deep fundamental research with independent ESG analysis to identify high-quality large-cap growth companies with the potential to outperform over time. We focus on businesses with durable earnings power, strong balance sheets, and sustainable competitive advantages—believing these attributes are essential to long-term value creation. A proprietary ESG rating process is applied to every company under consideration, enhancing our understanding of risk and opportunity, particularly where sustainability dynamics may shape future outcomes.
The result is a high-conviction, low-turnover portfolio of fundamentally strong, sustainability-minded companies trading at compelling valuations. Sector exposure is balanced, and position sizes are guided by conviction, quality, and risk profile—ensuring the portfolio remains focused, disciplined, and forward-looking.
Key attributes of our approach include:
- Bottom-up research with a focus on growth, quality, and sustainability
- Proprietary ESG evaluation to assess company behavior and long-term risk
- Balanced exposure across sectors, with 35-40 holdings
- Disciplined risk framework guiding portfolio construction
