Pictet Asset Management has been active in managing 'best-in-class' SRI portfolios since 1997 and environmental thematic funds since 2000. Within the scope of our 'best-in-class' SRI portfolios we pursue an innovative quantitative investment approach that combines a rigorous extra-financial (ESG) screening with selected financial sustainability factors in order to provide investors with robust core equity portfolios that are more sustainable and financially attractive. In our theme fund range we offer concentrated exposure to a range of environmental themes (water, clean energy, timber, agriculture) that are key to sustainable development. Our theme funds take an active bottom-up approach and integrate ESG criteria within the investment process combined with an engagement overlay for selected companies.
