Investment Management

Nikko AM's Approach

---

Nikko AM sees the implementation of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in our investment processes as an ongoing journey of how best to apply the highest standards.

ESG factors are rooted in our investment philosophy, with a process that consistently integrates ESG considerations. We believe that attention to ESG is about good investment discipline and is not a separate exercise. Instead, it is core to the business and inherent to long-term value creation.

 

Strategies

---

Different asset classes have different dynamics, with varied geographies and industry sectors adding to that complexity. This makes ESG implementation more akin to an art than a science within portfolio construction. Each investment team interprets ESG implementation through its own lens, leading to differentiated approaches, but they always apply these considerations the highest standard.

ESG considerations are fundamental to all of our strategies, including:

• Global Equity
• Global Fixed Income
• U.S. Investment
