Responsible Investment

Investment Process

Our Research team is required to examine ESG factors in the investment process at all times, and our Investment Committee scrutinizes all aspects of our systematic investment methods, including these ESG factors.

We are constantly evaluating numerous sources of ESG raw and derived data in order to find the finest indicators and include them in our systematic methodology.

ESG Implementation

At the fund level, we have incorporated ESG improvements into our existing products.

• ESG integration in our Equity Market Neutral strategies with the addition of proprietary ESG elements;
• Issuers involved in harmful activities are excluded.

Commitment to Responsible Investing and Diversity

Corporate Responsibility

Lagen Investment has been working to establish and promote industry-wide norms of good governance, openness, integrity, and ownership practices.

We recognize that a long-term value generation plan that is both sustainable and responsible is critical for all stakeholders.

Lagen Investment is committed to incorporating Responsible Investing into their investment decision-making. We have chosen to employ internal resources to discover the best approaches for applying responsible investing throughout our systems and operations as a scientific, data-driven firm.

Diversity and Inclusion

We make it a priority to build and maintain a diverse work environment and culture. Diversity, ownership, and professional advancement are all encouraged in our firm's culture.

We at Lagen Investment value diversity. Our benefit comes from our diverse origins, thoughts, opinions, experiences, and methods. This is true not only for the way fund managers run our investment franchises but also for our own company.
