‘Sustainability does not mean generating profits that then go into environmental and social projects, but rather generating profits in an environmentally and socially responsible way.’ (Iris Pufé, ‘Nachhaltigkeit’ 2014, p.16)
Our process in detail, from idea to sustainable investment strategy:
| Context | What does sustainability mean to you? This definition is the crux of the investment strategy. |
| Vision and mission | Joint development of a vision as to how the company’s values will develop and what impact this will have on your investment. |
| Investment principles | Development of your exact investment principles, e.g. ‘sustainable investing’, ‘impact investing’, exclusion criteria, ESG, restrictions, etc. |
| Strategy and selection | Definition of medium and long-term risk and return expectations. |
| Implementation | Definition of asset allocation, manager selection, investment results reporting, manager monitoring, risk management. |
Impact investing
The ‘five elements’
- The basic principles of nature are the five elements of earth, air, fire, water and cohesion. These elements form the basis of life.
- Even though these principles might seem very spiritual and not particularly rational today, the idea behind the five element theory forms the basis of modern physics and natural sciences.
- They can be used a guide when considering sustainable development and planning sensible investments.
- The first four elements alone have little effect; only the interplay between all elements creates life. This interplay – called cohesion – represents the fifth element.
