How Socially Responsible Investing works
QuayStreet Asset Management
When investing it’s important to know that not all investments are created equal.
All investments take into account financial risk and return.
Responsible and socially responsible investing also considers Environmental, Social and Governance (or ESG) factors. But only SRI Funds avoid investing in controversial and unethical companies.
QuayStreet has fine tuned their SRI screening process over the last 10 years. Their process can be applied across a very large investment universe…
From companies listed in the US, Europe or Japan to our own local markets. And, across different asset types such as shares, bonds, commodities or currencies.
QuayStreet will start by identifying companies with negative impact on the environment or the society and avoid investing in them directly.
QuayStreet will then apply their traditional investment process to the identified companies and assess their investment characteristics.
The next step is a comprehensive ESG assessment. This incorporates the assessment of for example use of natural resources or impact on environment, poor labour standards, supply chain issues, poor board management or corruption
The goal is to create a diversified portfolio of investments that are socially responsible. Investments are then monitored ongoing and necessary changes are implemented.
