Pathstone supports clients who seek to align their investments with their mission or values while earning competitive financial returns
Our approach to sustainable and impact investing relies on rigorous research and the selection of investment managers and strategies that systematically integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations and sustainability themes into their process. ESG analysis helps us to identify and evaluate material issues that may influence investment performance and to assess whether they are being managed appropriately.
Pathstone’s investment acumen and impact expertise, combined with our strong culture of client service, offers a uniquely personalized approach — one that is tailored to each client’s interests, depth of knowledge, structure, and circumstances.
Core Elements of Pathstone’s Holistic Approach
Thematic Research
We link timely environmental and social themes with real investment opportunities, often taking a “systems approach” to identifying solutions.
Field Building
Pathstone’s impact experts play an active role in growing the field of sustainable and impact investing, leveraging their voices on behalf of clients who seek to accelerate progress to a more regenerative and inclusive global economy.
Investment Sourcing & Diligence
Our team follows a rigorous and holistic vetting process that evaluates ESG considerations as well as manager diversity.
ESG Scoring
We enhance baseline ESG data by correcting for biases and factoring intentionality into the score. Scores can inform investment selection and are reported on a quarterly basis.
Access Impact Framework
Our impact measurement approach illustrates the alignment of clients’ portfolios to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, using the concept of “investing in access”.
