Sustainable Investment... made by Sarasin
The sustainable investment offered by Bank Sarasin is significantly different from other providers:
Because we are independent, our sustainability analysts are highly neutral and objective, which boosts our credibility with customers.
We initiated sustainable research for companies as early as 1989. Now our team of 8 sustainability analysts is one of the biggest and most experienced in Continental Europe: an essential foundation for top-class research results.
We offer customers one-stop shopping for sustainability products. The integration of our experienced Research team into the portfolio management process means our products and advisory services are of unparalleled quality. This allows us to identify and exploit the reciprocal effects of environmental, social and financial factors, and advise our clients accordingly.
Bank Sarasin is both market leader and trendsetter: We launched the world’s first investment fund based on the concept of eco-efficiency back in 1994. We started including social factors in our sustainability rating as early as 1997. And we already boast several years’ experience in analysing the sustainability performance of public-sector debt issuers, which very few other companies can rival.
We offer clients committed, individual, personal and credible support that is geared towards a long-term partnership, indeed a sustainable one.
Best-in-class is not good enough for us! While many other concepts in the market are built solely on one-dimensional ratings, our sustainability rating comprises two components. We not only analyse companies in relation to their competitors (best-in-class), but also look at the performance of individual industries (best-of-class). This allows the entry barriers to the investment universe to be raised for companies active in not particularly sustainable (higher risk) sectors, and lowered for those from more sustainable (lower risk) industries.
