ESG & Stewardship

Responsible Investment Approach

Egerton’s fundamental, research-intensive stock-picking approach to investing naturally leads us to identify well-governed companies with sustainable, long-term business models.

ESG factors form an important part of the investment process. All analysts are responsible for the consideration of ESG factors when conducting fundamental research and analysis on individual companies.
