Australia Sustainable Equity

Overview

The Martin Currie Australia Sustainable Equity strategy is designed for investors who increasingly want to contribute to a more Sustainable society, environment, and economy, without forfeiting the financial returns from their investments.  

Our approach is premised on the philosophy that companies should prove to be more successful financially over time if they:

• can provide Net Sustainability Benefits to society,
• have a management that focuses on their Sustainability Risks, and
• has a clearly articulated Pathway towards a sustainable environmental, social & economic future.

Stewardship is, and has always been, a critical element of the Martin Currie Australia investment philosophy. We believe that, as active investors, we can positively influence a company’s pathway to improve their sustainability practices through our Active Ownership activities.

The Martin Currie Australia Sustainable Equity strategy combines our unique multi-lensed research process with proprietary Shadow Carbon Cost assessments and portfolio construction that favours companies that score highly on our Sustainability assessments

By investing in a portfolio of ASX-listed securities with attractive sustainability and financial attributes, we aim to create long-term value for investors and generate healthier outcomes for all stakeholders - such as employees, communities, customers and the broader society.

We believe that there are few peer strategies available in the market that address both Sustainability and long-term financial returns in the way that the Martin Currie Australia Sustainable Equity strategy can.
