The sustainable investment universe is currently dominated by traditional best-in-class approaches. These strategies buy stocks with the best sustainability attributes and exclude companies on the path to improvement—overlooking compelling opportunities.
By incorporating best-in-progress approaches, sustainable investors may:
Reduce periods of underperformance in public equity allocations due to a size, sector or style bias.
Enhance alpha potential by participating in the financial benefits created by companies making a green transition.
Drive greater tangible progress toward a greener future by investing in more companies committed to improving sustainability.
Our investment professionals recently shared research that shows how a best-in-progress investment approach can allow investors to diversify their portfolios and realize value from underappreciated companies embracing opportunities in sustainability.
