ESG expertise sees Robeco richly rewarded
Christian Super has awarded Robeco a $100 million mandate for its Enhanced Indexing Equities strategy, citing the asset manager’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment experience as a key factor in its decision.
“Christian Super is delighted to be partnering with Robeco as we continue to deepen the integration of ESG factors across our investment portfolio,” the super fund’s chief executive, Ross Piper, said. “Our organisations share a deep commitment to responsible investment, and a long track record of integrating sustainability factors into the way we invest.”
The strategy offered an alternative to passive investing for investors looking for stable outperformance after costs with a low tracking error, as well as integrating ESG criteria.
