OUR APPROACH

WHY CAPITAL GROUP?

Our integrated ESG approach

We identify investment opportunities through deep research and analysis, through partnership between investment professionals and the ESG team. Analysing material risks and opportunities (including those that relate to ESG topics) is a crucial aspect of how we assess an issuer's long-term potential to generate value.

LONG TERM

INTEGRATED

Our portfolio managers and investment analysts work to integrate material ESG considerations in their investment decision-making.

Analysis of material ESG issues, alongside other considerations, helps us identify investment risks and opportunities. They can be, but are not necessarily, determinative to an investment decision.
