Sustainable Investing
The management of Sustainability Risk forms a part of the due diligence process implemented by the Investment Manager. The Causeway Defined Growth Fund invests primarily in government bonds, investment grade corporate bonds, equities and equity related securities. The exposure to equities and equity related securities is indirect through financial derivative instruments (exchange traded or over the counter) as outlined in the Investment Policy. Below are outlined the considerations across the different asset classes the Fund invests in.
Equities and corporate bonds
A qualitative approach to sustainability is applied when selecting equities and corporate bonds. This involves assessing companies the firm might invest in on six criteria to ascertain how sustainable the company is. The six criteria are armaments, alcohol, tobacco, pornography, gambling and fossil fuels. As the Fund that does not have a specific sustainability criteria, a low sustainability score does not necessarily preclude an investment in a company being made. With regard to voting, Causeway Securities actively votes on all matters brought before shareholders and votes with all stakeholders in mind.
Government bonds
The Fund includes a high proportion of G7 government debt which tend to act as collateral pools for its derivative transactions. A limited amount of sustainability research is conducted on government bond holdings. In future, as “green” government debt becomes available, the Fund will seek to include such debt within the Fund.
Derivatives
Most derivatives within the Funds tend to be traded directly with large, global banks, so sustainability considerations are taken into account with regard to the underlying of any derivative held but also the nature of the banks on the other side of the Fund’s derivative transactions.
As the Fund that does not have a specific sustainability criteria a low sustainability score for a particular company does not necessarily preclude a derivative investment in a company being made. The sustainability policies of the banks the Fund trades with are monitored and are increasingly friendly from a sustainability standpoint. As sustainable investing develops it is likely that derivatives on sustainably based underlyings will appear and become liquid.
Causeway Securities is well positioned to take advantage of this given its position in the derivatives market but will not sacrifice liquidity for higher sustainability scores. The Investment Manager has determined that the Sustainability Risk (being the risk that the value of the Fund could be materially negatively impacted by an ESG Event) faced by the Fund is negligible.
Principal Adverse Impacts
The Investment Manager does not currently consider the principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors within the meaning of the SFDR. The relevant information required to appropriately assess the principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors is not yet available in a consistent and accessible fashion. However, to provide as much transparency as possible, the Investment Manager may voluntarily report on a subset of the principal adverse impacts.
It is the intent of the Investment Manager to consider, and report on, the principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors within the meaning of the SFDR once the requisite information is available at a level of detail to make reporting achievable and useful.
