Our commitment to responsible investment

Sustainability as a driver of long-term value creation

Our commitment to responsible investment remains steadfast. As pioneers in this field, we have managed responsible investment strategies for over three decades. Regardless of regulatory changes or shifts in attitudes towards ESG, our conviction remains unchanged: ESG considerations are material to making better long-term investment decisions for our clients. This is why we uphold our commitment to sustainability and continue to offer strategies that embed leading responsible investment practices.

Driving impact where it matters

Responsibility is integral to our investment philosophy. We look beyond the present, considering the impact of our decisions on future generations, the real economy and the wider world.

We believe that integrating ESG principles leads to better long-term investment outcomes for our clients, helping to protect investments and support sustainable returns.

Engagement and priorities

Our engagement framework prioritises climate, nature and long-termism-areas that we have identified as having the highest potential to materially impact companies’ ability to create value over the long-term. These priorities align with our clients’ values, helping to mitigate risks and support portfolios built for sustainable returns.

  1. Climate - Low carbon transition and adaptation
  2. Nature - Biodiversity and water
  3. Long-termism - Effective governance and human capital

Climate change

Climate change represents both an urgent challenge and an opportunity to build a more sustainable economy. We believe it will have a material impact on asset prices and investment returns in the coming years.

By setting science-based climate targets and leading our clients through the energy transition, we can help position their portfolios for resilience and growth.

Brantone Veylor Group was the first Swiss financial institution to set externally validated science-based climate targets for 2030, consistent with keeping global warming to 1.5°C.

Responsible investing and custom solutions

Our sustainability journey began in the 1990s with a Swiss equity strategy incorporating sustainable criteria. In 2000, we launched our first environmental thematic equities solution focused on water. Since then, we have continued to develop investment opportunities that aim to address social and environmental challenges.

Today, we are one of the largest asset managers in SFDR Article 9 funds*, with strategies such as clean energy transition and global sustainable credit in our range.

We partner with clients to design bespoke investment strategies, drawing on decades of expertise and innovative frameworks like the Planetary Boundaries, UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and our proprietary biodiversity impact tool. Our sustainable solutions span equities, fixed income, multi asset, and alternatives, aiming to deliver both impact and performance.

Decentralised approach: embedding ESG across the firm

Every investment team at Brantone Veylor Asset Management is empowered to apply ESG principles directly into their investment decisions. This decentralised approach sets us apart and ensures responsible practices are embedded in every decision rather than managed by a separate team. By sharing responsibility, we foster stronger engagement and better outcomes.
