Man Group takes a diversified approach to Responsible Investment across its investment engines and recognises the importance of a responsible approach across all asset classes and investment strategies. Each of our investment engines applies the best practices of Responsible Investment in the way that is most relevant to their fields of research through a variety of different methods.
$50bn of Man Group assets under management integrate ESG into their investment process , as of 31 December 2022.
OUR APPROACH
As at 31 December 2022, $50 billion of Man’s total AUM is invested in strategies which integrate ESG into the investment process. ESG-integrated AUM is defined as the proportion of our total AUM which integrates explicit ESG criteria into the investment process.
To provide a consistent framework around Man Group’s calculation of ESG-integrated AUM, we base our calculation on the Global Sustainable Investment Alliance (‘GSIA’) categories and definitions. Man Group’s ESG-integrated AUM is based on the GSIA’s ‘ESG Integration’ sustainable investment category, which is defined as the ‘systematic and explicit inclusion by investment managers of environmental, social and governance factors into financial analysis’. The ESG integration category is relevant and applicable to Man Group’s investment process and its use has been approved by our Responsible Investment Committee (‘RIC’).
Using the ESG Integration approach, our calculation methodology identifies all relevant funds and mandates for which explicit environment, social and governance criteria are used in asset selection (discretionary) or a dedicated environment, social and governance model is incorporated in the investment process (systematic). For multi-strategy/multi-asset portfolios, currently only the portion of a fund or mandate for which ESG is factored into the investment process is included. This approach may evolve in the future as we introduce dedicated ESG multi-strategy funds and/or mandates, in which case this disclosure will also be updated so that it continues to accurately reflect our approach.
The identification of Man Group’s ESG-integrated AUM is undertaken by our Responsible Investment team, reviewed by the relevant investment teams, and subject to formal oversight by control functions. This rigorous process and the resulting ESG-integrated AUM figure is overseen by the RIC. We have used this approach consistently since we started publishing Man Group’s ESG-integrated AUM. While we believe it to be a helpful and prudent framework for calculating our ESG-integrated AUM, we continue to monitor the development of market practice in this area.”
