Our concept
Sustainable investment products pave the way for sustainable development. They are usually just as financially successful, if not more so, than their conventional counterparts. Not just you as an investor, but also society and the environment as a whole benefit from the sustainable qualities of your investment.
Our sustainable investment solutions are initially based on the same financial analysis and considerations as our classic investment products. Our sustainability assessment does not therefore replace tried and tested financial analysis procedures, but complements them and creates added value in the process.
Our investment decisions are based on three levels of analysis.
| 1. Industry analysis | All industries are classified on the basis of their environmental opportunities and risks. |
| 2. Company analysis | Based on the findings of the industry analysis, the concrete behaviour of companies is scrutinised. |
| 3. Financial analysis | Companies are assessed on the basis of financial criteria. |

“Our sustainability analysis goes much further than the purely financial analysis used in the conventional investment approach. We explicitely take into consideration the environmental and social conditions facing each company. In addition, our rating process benefits from the professional expertise provided by our interdisciplinary team of analysts and their thorough understanding of leading-edge technologies. This significantly enhances the quality of our investment products.” Eckhard Plinke, Head Sustainability Research |
