The Quality ESG strategy adds a proprietary quality factor to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing, providing exposure to both high-quality and highly ESG-rated companies.
The Quality ESG (QESG) strategy implements a unique Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) integration strategy, alongside a proprietary quality factor screen, to quantitatively target companies with both financial and non-financial sustainability.
By incorporating ESG metrics, eliminating exposure to companies involved in objectionable business lines, and avoiding exposure to the least financially sustainable companies, the QESG strategy invests at the intersection of high quality and highly rated ESG companies.
