Our Responsible Investment Approach
As an active manager focused on Emerging Markets, we believe taking a responsible approach contributes to developing a deeper understanding of both risks and opportunities.
As part of our responsible investment approach we include non-financial factors and company engagement into our active research process which we believe can help us uncover any issues that could have a material financial impact on a company’s value.
Responsible Investment and Stewardship
Matthews Head of Responsible Investment and Stewardship Kathlyn Collins shares the importance of integrating non-financial information into the firm’s active research process.
Stewardship
Trust, transparency and accountability from companies is important in all markets in which we invest, and especially so in Emerging Markets.
Engagement and Stewardship
We are cognizant of our responsibility to meet and engage with corporate management to share our views on how we think they can improve corporate governance..
