6 The PRI is not: About sacrificing returns to save the world About philanthropy About exclusion of unethical stocks from portfolios A prescriptive/compliance-based standard
7 The PRI is: A toolkit for integrating ESG issues into investment and informing investment decisions Grounded in fiduciary duty Voluntary and aspirational A global collaborative investor network A forum for discussion and concrete action on longterm risk issues and value drivers A secretariat providing practical support
8 Responsible investment
9 Reminder: RI what and why? What: Incorporation of ESG issues into investment processes Why: We are facing a series of big issues and trends: Climate change, corporate governance, human rights, water depletion, clean energy, deforestation, biodiversity loss, retirement security These issues can affect investments directly and indirectly many/most investors do not address them adequately Environment: BP Employee issues: Massey, Foxconn Corporate governance: Newscorp
10 Impact on companies Real value looks past quarterly reporting (Financial Times, 18 April 2011) 'Vedanta refinery expansion plan rejected by India citing forestry rules' (Bloomberg, 21 October 2010) Billions more wiped from BP's value as shares plunge on oil spill failures (The Guardian, 1 June 2010) French government calls in CEO of France Telecom after 23rd employee suicide in 18 months (Associated Press, 14 September 2009)
11 Climate change impact Utilities CO2/ Listed equities Autos gco2/km Climate change Property Real estate Environmental performance PE/infrastruct ure Construction materials Manufacturers Renewable energy Energy efficiency
12 Corporate governance impact Risk management Corporate governance Company boards Executive pay Independent directors Audit committee
13 What can investors do? Address the issues before investment decisions are made: ESG affects investment selection Address the issues after the investment decision has been made: use position as a shareholder to exercise influence
14 Signatory performance
15 2011 PRI assessment results Use of ESG research and extent it is applied to portfolio construction (internal active managed assets) Large Moderate Small Not at all
16 ESG integration
17 What works and what doesn t CEO / management buy-in RI team part of front office KPIs and incentivisation Allocating resources RI/ESG research reaches people Training (to all staff) ESG in RFPs Communication and reporting RI/ESG as a separate department A single RI champion Unsystematic data collection
18 Challenges Knowledge Information and disclosure Materiality Uniformity Qualification and quantification Research Sharing
19 Current practices: IMs Before the investment decision: Research thematic, fundamental Identify material ESG issues Scenario testing Qualification and quantification Stock selection (overweight / underweight) Investigate specialist strategies
20 RARE Infrastructure Cash flows capture ESG where it is possible to quantify impacts, for example carbon costs in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme Discount rates are adjusted for ESG risks, for example a history of detailed disclosure, or conflicts of interest between a controlling shareholder and minorities. Higher risks result in a higher cost of capital Portfolio construction starts with the outputs from internal and external research, along with many other inputs, and synthesises information into stock weights
21 Quotient Investors Seeks to add alpha and provide risk control measures versus a major large cap equities benchmark ESG characteristics are combined with measures of deep value, relative value, quality growth, earnings growth, momentum and other measures to arrive at an assessment of stock price Provides a high degree of exposure to companies with good ESG characteristics Using ESG data used as a source of returns
22 PGGM Integration process in three phases: Phase I Inventory: Draw up an ESG Framework for the investment category. Investigate and determine which and to what extent ESG factors affect the financial performance of the underlying investments Phase II Implementation: Determine how the specified ESG framework is expressed in the investment process Phase III Internalisation: ESG factors form a natural part of the overall investment process
23 Current practices: AOs ESG in Requests for Proposals: One third of PRI AOs write ESG into manager contracts AOs are asking for evidence that ESG is integrated into research and investment processes AOs are asking how ESG is integrated into management structures and processes, staff training, etc. AOs are asking their investment consultants for guidance on ESG ESG reporting requirements incidents and responses
24 BT Pension Scheme The Trustee believes that long term factors, including ESG will impact the returns of the scheme moving toward full integration of ESG across investment decisions on strategy, asset allocation and manager selection and monitoring Due diligence questionnaires include questions on ESG topics such as investment process, fee structures and risk management Influence and challenge fund managers to deliver more effectively on ESG risk management
25 Environment Agency Active PF Managers have to show how they: Identify and select companies for investment Undertake research on ESG issues Encourage companies to improve their ESG performance Use their votes at AGMs to influence corporate decisions Report on voting record and direct engagement Identify themes that impact performance
26 VicSuper Address sustainability issues in passively managed investments through proxy voting, company engagement and collaborative engagements Enhanced passive investment : investments designed to achieve similar risk and return characteristics as an index, that are representative of the index, but are selected based on their sustainability credentials
27 ESG integration in other asset classes
28 Fixed income and RI How does analysis of ESG issues reduce default risk? How do bondholders engage effectively with management when they do not have voting rights? Can ESG issues have an impact on the creditworthiness of countries? Should credit ratings agencies do more to integrate ESG risks into their corporate ratings? Can ESG analysis improve understanding of investment risks associated with fixed income derivatives?
29 Private equity and RI PE is well-suited to active ownership and consideration of ESG issues Dialogue between GPs and LPs is growing LPs consider ESG in mandates with intermediaries, internal DD and fund selection process GPs take into account ESG risks when making decisions on investment in portfolio companies
30 Hedge funds and RI Responsible investment in hedge funds is only just emerging as a practice Engagement from asset owners and fund of hedge funds is critical to encourage single hedge fund managers to consider ESG issues in investment process Challenges for RIs to consider: fund governance, transparency, derivatives, short selling and leveraging RI helps mitigate some of these risks, support sustainability, build trust and integrity in the industry and align interests between AOs and hedge fund managers
31 Conclusion Responsible investment is growing rapidly as a mainstream trend around the world Driven by strategic trends in investment, the economy and society Enhance risk management and identify new opportunity, within fiduciary obligations Enables more informed investment decisions Developments with ESG in stock selection, portfolio construction and asset allocation Developments with ESG and other asset classes
