Sustainable investing solutions for evolving portfolio objectives

Represents a dedicated effort to embed sustainability into investment practices for long-term value creation, where applicable. 

Our sustainable investing approach

At Invesco, our ambition in sustainable investing is to be the preferred partner for our clients. For many of our clients, long-term value creation and effective risk mitigation are fundamental to achieving their investment goals. As a result, we offer a range of sustainable investment solutions that help our clients to express their priorities across active, passive, equity, fixed income, real estate, multi-factor, and other exposures. We also adapt our offering to meet specific client needs, using bespoke solutions, such as self-indexing, to deliver the right investment outcomes. 

Focus on sustainable value creation and effective risk mitigation

We integrate financially material considerations in our investment capabilities, where appropriate, considering critical factors that help us deliver strong outcomes to clients.  

As investors in global equities, corporate and sovereign fixed income instruments, as well as real estate and multi-asset strategies, we recognise the differences between asset classes and geographies. We apply sustainability factors in a variety of ways, depending on the asset class, strategy and our clients’ demands.

Our Sustainable Investing Services team provides support and analysis, while our investment managers maintain discretion on portfolio decisions.

Exercising our rights and responsibilities as stewards of capital

We engage with issuers in a  constructive manner and use our expertise to cast voting decisions in our clients’ best interests.

Growing together, supporting our capabilities

We believe having quality data is critical for effective investment analysis. We are enhancing our data and analytics capabilities by building out and updating our proprietary tools, including ESGintel, PROXYintel and ESGCentral. These tools assist with research, portfolio reviews, portfolio optimisation, engagement and proxy voting.

Meeting our clients where they are

Invesco has a client-centric approach focused on customising solutions to client needs and objectives. We provide a range of sustainability-focused capabilities that enable clients to express their values through investing. Some of our clients ask us to impose sustainable investing guidelines and restrictions on their portfolios. We therefore offer a suite of portfolio solutions to clients who wish to pursue sustainability-focused goals. 

Enabling better sustainability-focused conversations

Invesco participates in relevant industry initiatives to promote the continued improvement of functioning financial markets. We are involved in many industry bodies, including Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB), and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). We engage policymakers on the latest regulations and partner with academic institutions, such as the University of Cambridge and Tsinghua University.
