  • Other/Qualitative: At Sage, we see sustainable factor sensitive investing as a way for clients to achieve greater potential returns while doing good from a global and societal perspective. Moreover, we believe that the most compelling investment solutions will be those that combine institutional quality ESG research with comprehensive fundamental and quantitative research, portfolio construction and asset management capabilities. Indeed, we believe that ESG analysis should not be regarded as a substitute for traditional investment analysis but rather a powerful enhancement to it.
  • Shareholder Engagement - Private Dialogue: Conducted with companies on environmental, social or governance issues
