ESG INTEGRATION
The integration of ESG factors within our investment decisions is done across all funds and asset classes. Our ESG Policy covers all of our equity and fixed income holdings which, given our investment philosophy, are all either located in Latin America or with major operations in the region.
We incorporate ESG factors in our investment analysis as we believe that an issuer´s social impact, environmental practices and governance are key to protect and potentially enhance, its profitability over the long run. Moreover, we consider that ignoring these factors implies overlooking risks and opportunities that may significantly affect long term growth and cash flow predictability.
To incorporate ESG factors in our investment analyses, we have developed an internal ESG Questionnaire based on international reporting standards. The questionnaire besides data provided by our third-party ESG research providers, is used to evaluate and rate issuers on their performance.
