More investors are consulting Angel Capital on how to reduce the risks in their portfolios and seize investment opportunities related to sustainability and the transition to a low-carbon economy. As fiduciaries, we assist everyone in achieving their investment goals.
What is sustainable investing?
Sustainable investing refers to strategies that use environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals, themes, and related considerations as primary criteria for selecting investments.
What is transformative investing?
The transition to a low-carbon economy is one of the few significant structural changes that could reshape economies, sectors, and businesses. Today, not all sustainable strategies are transformative, nor are all transformative strategies sustainable. By understanding the relationship between these types of investment strategies, investors can identify products and solutions that meet their goals. Angel Capital defines transformative investing as focusing on investments that prepare for, align with, benefit from, and/or contribute to the transition to a low-carbon economy.
What is investment management?
Investment management is part of Angel Capital's fulfillment of its fiduciary responsibility to promote the long-term economic interests of its clients. To this end, we engage with the companies in which our clients invest, act as proxies for those clients who empower us to vote, and encourage sound corporate governance and business practices as informed, actively engaged investors.
Based on our experience, companies that can effectively manage their business models—including risks and opportunities related to sustainability—are better positioned to achieve lasting, long-term financial performance. High standards of corporate governance, along with strong board and executive leadership, enable companies to remain resilient and adaptable in the face of macroeconomic and social challenges that may impact their financial performance over time.
