responsible investing
Our mission, first and foremost, is to protect client capital.
We also recognise that relevant and material ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) issues
can have an impact on the performance of the counterparties in which we invest and on the client
capital we entrust.
In line with our objective, our process incorporates an integrated evaluation of factors that promote
responsible and sustainable investing.
RESPONSIBLE INVESTing
What we do
The inclusion of factors related to responsible and sustainable investing are necessary for a complete understanding of both risk and opportunity.
Responsible Investing (RI) is a fundamental driver of value creation, which is why Skybound has proactively integrated ESG analysis across all our product offerings.
Skybound’s ESG policy adopts a holistic approach to evaluate risks and identify investment opportunities that have the potential for superior financial performance.
We acknowledge the interconnected nature of our business, the environment, the economy, and society, and therefore, we are committed to sustainability.
RESPONSIBLE INVESTING
OUR APPROACH
The measurement of ESG factors is being integrated throughout the investment process at Skybound, starting from the initial due diligence and investment selection and continuing through the ongoing monitoring and reporting of each portfolio company.
It is essential for us to engage with our counterparties and promote responsible business practices to ensure their operational conduct aligns with the interests of all stakeholders.
By incorporating the evaluation of ESG factors alongside traditional fundamental considerations, we enhance our understanding of the risks and opportunities associated with our investments. This comprehensive approach aligns with Skybound’s primary objective of capital preservation.
Skybound’s ESG integration efforts are centered around three main themes:
