ALIGNING INVESTMENTS WITH VALUES
In a fast-changing world, sustainability is a growing concern for our clients. Many investors have twin goals: to generate returns, and to do so in a way that aligns with their values.
We are committed to incorporating the management of risks associated with environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors across our entire investment platform. For investors who want to express their values explicitly in their portfolios, we offer a broad range of sustainable investment capabilities.
ESG integration
ESG integration serves as a foundation for investment decisions across J.P. Morgan Asset Management. We use a proprietary 10-point framework to incorporate material, relevant ESG factors in our active investment processes.
Our Alternatives, Equities, Global Fixed Income, Currency & Commodities, Global Liquidity and Multi-Asset Solutions investment engines have formalised their ESG integration processes for actively managed strategies.
