Investing responsibly
We believe that we must be responsible stewards of our clients’ capital if we are to be successful on their behalf over the long term. That means assessing environmental, social and governance matters as part of our assessment of a company’s long-term risks, opportunities and intrinsic value, engaging with investee companies, and voting at shareholder meetings.
You can view our Statement of Principles and Stewardship Report to learn more about our approach.
We integrate responsible investing considerations into our investment process
As long-term investors, we have always strived to understand the various factors that affect a company’s intrinsic value, including responsible investing considerations. We believe that analysing such risks and opportunities improves the long-term value that we are able to deliver in the Altair Funds.
To learn more about how responsible investing considerations can impact our investment decisions, read our Implementation Statement.
We engage with investee companies and vote at shareholder meetings
Our analysts typically meet with company management in the final stages of their research process. Once invested, we exercise our ownership responsibilities through ongoing engagement and by voting at shareholder meetings. In each case, our guiding principle is to act in what we believe are the long-term economic interests of our clients.
Our Implementation Statement outlines our approach to meeting and engaging with investee companies. Our Proxy Voting Policy outlines the principles and processes we adopt when voting shares owned by the Altair Funds.
