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

For ESG, taking the long view is crucial. We’ve been long-term investors for 94 years.

DEDICATED ESG TEAM

Our 40+ ESG professionals focus on proprietary research and analysis.

INTEGRATED

Our portfolio managers and investment analysts work to integrate material ESG considerations in their investment
