Responsible investment is essential to delivering sustainable, long-term returns.
Get in touchAt atomos, we believe responsible investment is essential to delivering sustainable, long-term returns. Our approach to responsible investment combines integrating Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) considerations and stewardship efforts, ensuring that we consider all financial and sustainability-related factors that may affect investment outcomes.
Theses ESG factors help access companies using important measures beyond traditional accounting metrics, giving a fuller view of an investment’s performance.
ESG factors can play a role in shaping a company’s long-term prospects; issues such as climate change or labour standards, if not properly managed, may increase business risks and uncertainty. By considering ESG alongside traditional financial analysis, we aim to better understand these risks and support long-term investment outcomes.
We believe responsible and sustainable investing is important for a successful long-term investment strategy. By integrating Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations into our investment decisions and stewardship, we aim to manage risks, identify opportunities and help build a more resilient financial system for our clients.
In 2022, atomos formed a strategic alliance with WTW, a global leader in sustainable investing. Through this collaboration, our portfolios benefit from sustainable investing insights, climate research, and active stewardship to support our investment decisions.
Stewardship is about active ownership. While company boards are responsible for oversight, investors are not simply passive holders of shares. Through activities such as voting at shareholder meetings and engaging constructively where appropriate, investors can raise concerns and encourage improvements. This view is supported by a body of academic research showing that stewardship can be an effective mechanism for managing ESG-related risks, such as lowering carbon emissions (1).

At atomos, stewardship is an integral part of how we manage portfolios. While we apply some exclusions where appropriate, we focus on constructive engagement as a tool for managing long-term risks and supporting resilient returns.
