A responsible approach to investment
We conduct our private banking profession responsibly, based on a caring relationship with our clients, employees, partners and the wider community. This approach has stood the test of time and is naturally reflected in our investment solutions.
We have always offered our clients a personalised and sustainable service to preserve, enhance and pass on their wealth. Our role is to accompany our clients in responsible investment and guide them in their choices. Our discretionary mandates have a dual objective: to give meaning to our clients’ wealth by investing in sustainable and responsible solutions, without sacrificing growth potential.
Distinctive ESG practices
We firmly believe that in order to generate a sustainable return, the investment strategy must be part of a medium or long-term vision. This requires us to go beyond the analysis of simple financial criteria in order to evaluate a company over a longer period of time.
ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) criteria are valuable tools that enable us to deepen our knowledge of the companies in which we invest and mitigate the risks they face.
Given equivalent financial performance and growth prospects, we choose to invest in companies that have better ESG practices than their peers. Implementing measures to reduce carbon emissions, increasing shareholder transparency, and fairly compensating employees are the kind of actions that qualify a company for ESG consideration. We select bonds along similar lines, making sure that issuers consider these criteria so that sustainable and responsible investment chimes with long-term performance.
Our discretionary mandate means you can choose to combine long-term financial performance that aligns with your values.
