Responsible Investment Policy Statement
- The Trustees of the Foundation seek to balance their duty to achieve optimal investment returns with the goal of creating a portfolio that follows the best practices of responsible investing.
- The Trustees will appoint fund managers who apply the principles of responsible investment and have the appropriate policies and practices in place to do so.
- The Foundation will not invest in funds that invest in companies that derive any revenue from fossil fuel reserves, illegal or nuclear weapons, or the manufacture of tobacco products.
- More broadly, the Foundation will:
-
-
Seek to include sustainable investment managers in all manager searches when institutional quality options are known and available.
-
Favour such managers assuming they demonstrate reasonably comparable investment characteristics (i.e., competitive performance, fees, team stability, etc.) relative to their non-sustainability peers.
