Our choices matter – our investment decisions have an impact.

At Cazenove Capital we look to understand, measure and manage the impact of your investments. Our sustainability portfolios invest for a better future, meeting your financial goals while at the same time, generating a positive impact for people and the planet.

Investing for the planet

Our sustainable growth portfolio has an equity carbon footprint 69% lower than that of the global equity market.

Based on £1m invested in the Growth model (65% in equities) the equity emissions saving is the equivalent to the below:

annual_energy_usage.png   The annual energy usage of 8 homes

car.png   Taking 15 cars off the road for a year

seedlings.png   Planting and growing 1,135 tree seedlings for 10 years

Source: 30/09/2020. Carbon footprint is based on the average carbon emissions (tonnes CO2e) of portfolio companies, weighted by their position size based on MSCI data. 

Investing for people

We measure the impacts of the stocks we invest in using Schroders award-winning impact measurement tool SustainEx. This looks at all company activities from staff wages, products and services to salaries paid and looks to assess the impact, both negative and positive, that these activities have on society. The companies in our Sustainable Growth portfolio create four times the social benefit than the global equity index, as measured by SustainEx.

Action through influence

We actively engage and influence companies, managers and policy makers to improve behaviours and governance, and make progress towards the sustainable development goals.

People

Diversity

We wrote to all of our US holdings with all-male boards to explain that if we failed to see evidence of change, we would vote against the chair of the Nominees Committee at the next AGM. 29 of the 38 companies contacted have now added women to their board.

Planet

Build back better

We have written to leaders in the U.K. and Europe urging them to put sustainability and the transition to a low carbon economy at the heart of Covid-19 recovery plans. This is part of our commitment to engage with policy makers using our influence for good.

As part of the Schroders group we are A+ rated by the United Nations Principles of Responsible Investment, are a Tier 1 signatory to the UK Stewardship Code and were ranked in the top 10 global asset managers in the 2020 ShareAction responsible investment report. Schroders’ 22 dedicated environmental, social and governance specialists have over 140 years' combined investment experience, providing unparalleled expertise and research.

As a business we are committed to having a positive impact on people and planet. In January 2020 we committed to being carbon neutral. We are also a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact of principles for sustainably managed businesses, as well as supporting communities and charities through our improving futures campaign.

CASE STUDIES

CASE STUDY

Helping a family use its investments to make an impact

The beneficiaries of a family trust wanted the trust assets to better reflect their commitment to environmental and social causes. We explained to the trustees how they could incorporate impact and sustainability objectives into a portfolio without sacrificing financial return.

CASE STUDY

How we helped a family structure its charitable giving and involve the next generation

We helped our clients identify a suitable charitable giving vehicle and fund it tax-efficiently. We now manage their charitable assets in line with a mandate encompassing both financial and sustainability objectives. We also helped formally involve the next generation in the family’s charitable giving.
