Newton will make investment decisions that are not based solely on ESG. Other attributes of an investment may outweigh ESG analysis when making investment decisions. The way that ESG and sustainability is assessed and the assessment of their suitability for Newton’s sustainable strategies may vary depending on the asset class and strategy involved. For Newton’s sustainable strategies, ESG analysis is performed prior to investment for corporate investments (single name equity and fixed-income securities). The analysis will then also follow the Newton sustainable investment process to ensure it fits with the wider Newton sustainable investment philosophy.
