ESG investing takes into account fundamental concepts related to sustainability as well as aspects specifically relevant for investors. As established guidelines used to evaluate investments taking a forward-looking view, ESG criteria have proven themselves, both from a risk perspective and in terms of return expectations – valid for investments emanating from the G7 to the emerging markets.

  

Relevant for your clients: The new era of “ESG-Investing”

Companies with good ESG ratings are more than just a “goodwill” investment today. Our experience has shown that ESG products perform on a par with comparable indices. In addition, they are a proven tool for including even long-term risks in investment decisions.

Time to shine with your ESG knowledge – as a bank or as an External Asset Manager (EAM)

When it comes to ESG, many of your clients are most likely grappling with a not insignificant knowledge gap. This is exactly what gives you the unique opportunity to position yourself with ESG expertise ahead of your competition.

“ESG monitoring has also developed into a tool for checking return expectations.”
  

 

The reason: Investors who evaluate potential investments according to ESG criteria take into account not only economic considerations, but also how well (or badly) a company is managed, or how its actions are affecting society and the environment. This directs their attention to developments that will have a lasting impact – and thus also to developments that have the potential to generate long-term returns.

Proven corporate governance: Vontobel’s “Prime Status” as an ESG issuer

Anyone who issues structured products and AMCs, like Vontobel does, must be able to demonstrate especially clearly to investors that they are a reliable partner. That is why we are particularly proud that one of the leading ESG research and rating agencies, the ISS Group, has awarded Vontobel “Prime Status”.

This recognition is not only positive news for you in terms of issuer risk, it also confirms Vontobel’s above-average sustainability performance. For us, it goes hand-in-hand with a reliable capital base and the forward-looking entrepreneurial thinking of a company that has been majority-owned by its founding family for decades.
