About the Leaders Universe

As a leading ‘search platform’ for institutional asset owners and from our close partnership with Pensions & Investments, Global Fund Search has unique access and insight into the work and preferences of institutional selection teams around the globe. The knowledge we accumulate ultimately makes us able to systematically identify the leading asset managers, e.g. within sustainable investing.

Sustainable investing is one of the major themes that we see among our investor-clients today, and it is a theme that is likely to play an important role in institutional investing for many years to come. Therefore, we dedicate this section of our platform to the leading asset managers and products that we, and our investor-network, see in this space.

Sustainable Fixed Income Leaders

Sustainable Handbook

GFS Handbook
Nordsip

Launched in collaboration with nordsip

Sustainable leadership is a status that most institutional asset managers are looking to attain; however, it can be difficult for investors to see through the marketing (and potential greenwashing) that is also a part of the game when significant amounts of assets flow towards a specific investment theme.


Therefore, the Sustainable Leaders program and the Sustainable Handbook attempt to identify the Sustainable leaders and thereby support institutional selection teams in their (re)search for external asset managers.

Spotlight

ESG philosophy

Over the last 30 years, we have built a comprehensive responsible investment approach consisting of three pillars:

  • ESG integration
    Incorporating financially material ESG factors into the investment decision-making process to help mitigate risk and potentially uncover opportunities.
  • Active ownership
    Addressing ESG issues by actively engaging with issuers and investee companies and exercising shareholder rights.
  • Solutions
    Providing focused responsible investment strategies including exclusions, best-in-class ESG, sustainability-themed and impact investments.

 Our research framework:

ESG factors are systematically integrated into our bottom-up research process for fixed income and equity issuers. We aim to develop our own holistic house view of issuers’ ESG profiles. By integrating ESG considerations with economic factors, and drawing from specialized ESG research sources, the research teams seek to identify financially material ESG factors and arrive at an independent, comprehensive view of the investment.

We seek to answer three key questions:

  • What are the potential economic impact of the ESG issue and its associated effect on the issuer’s long-term growth potential, profitability or creditworthiness?
  • Are ESG risks and opportunities accurately reflected in valuations?
  • Is engagement beneficial to generate long-term economic value?

We view ESG analysis as a risk management tool and a potential alpha source. By integrating ESG factors into the traditional financial analysis framework, we aim to identify financially material factors which could affect the issuer’s long-term growth potential, profitability, or creditworthiness, and to assess if they are appropriately priced.

Our ESG integration process focuses on managing financial risks and identifying opportunities by including additional information in investment analysis to help inform our decision making. ESG integration does not seek to make ethical judgements and imposes no ESG-related restrictions on the investment universe. It seeks to systematically uncover ESG risks and opportunities to ensure they are appropriately priced in the investment being considered.
