Our global asset manager partners
IG Wealth Management exclusively partners with asset managers who are signatories to the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and share our commitment to sustainable investing through ESG integration, active ownerships and collaboration efforts.
ESG integration
When deciding whether to buy or sell a company, our asset managers will consider material ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) factors along with traditional financial analysis.
Active ownership
As active owners, our asset managers meet regularly with companies’ senior management and board of directors to address many financial and non-financial themes. Material ESG issues are an important part of these discussions. Investment teams promote good ESG company behaviours through active ownership activities, namely engagement and proxy voting.
Collaboration efforts
The United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) is a global organization of over 3,000 investment companies committed to encouraging and supporting responsible investing practices in the investment industry. As part of being a PRI signatory, IG Wealth Management has an annual obligation to report our sustainable investing approach and efforts in a publicly available PRI transparency report.
