In achieving the best returns for clients, we consider a number of factors that influence performance including Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) issues.
We believe that the willingness and ability of companies to adopt the highest standards of social responsibility is increasingly important to the long-term growth of their businesses. If we consider that a company’s social, environmental or ethical record will adversely affect its financial performance and result in poor returns, then we will not hold that stock in our portfolios.
