The Rockefeller heritage in sustainable and impact investing dates back to the 1970s, when the family office began public and private investment programs that incorporated environmental social values into the investment process.
Today, we believe that rigorous, ESG-integrated analysis coupled with deep shareholder engagement can deliver strong long-term results for our clients. To us, understanding secular environmental and social trends is tantamount to good investing. Intellectual capital built throughout our 30-year Global Equity ESG track record, constructive shareholder engagement approach, and award-winning research will continue to provide us insights not commonly found in the investment community.
Four Decades of ESG Leadership
Drawing on the intellectual capital built over the past 40 years, Rockefeller Asset Management offers our investment solutions integrating ESG research and a constructive engagement approach.
Research
Rockefeller’s Proprietary Materiality Map identifies ESG issues that are material to the risk and return profile of companies across 77 Sustainable Industry Classification System [SICS®] industries. It serves as the foundation for our research and engagement process. In the years ahead, we believe that investors will increasingly differentiate between ESG Improvers and ESG Leaders, and that the former may offer greater potential for generating alpha over the long run.
