TAKING CARE OF OUR CLIENTS' ASSETS

As fiduciaries, we must consider the risks that come from not operating our clients’ assets in a sustainable way, in the same way as we would consider any other risk to our clients’ assets. Ever-changing regulation and occupiers’ expectations means investment risk that evolves due to potential obsolescence. It also presents an opportunity.

When seeking mispriced risk, environmental factors are thought through as part of our investment approach. The appropriate actions for each asset must be considered differently to deliver the best outcomes for our clients.
