The long-only Portfolio will be managed by GSAM\u2019s Emerging Market (EM) Equity team. The 30 person team has an average of 15 years of investment experience and currently manages $3.5bn GS Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio, which ranks in the top decile of its peer group over the last five years. The portfolio will incorporate ESG criteria as part of a fundamental, bottom-up financial analysis.<\/p>\n
Luke Barrs, Head of GSAM Fundamental Equity Client Portfolio Management in EMEA, said: \u201cBy leveraging proprietary research and insight on companies\u2019 ESG practices, and by engaging directly with management on areas of material risk, the team is able to build a deeper knowledge of businesses they invest in. These ESG considerations go hand-in-hand with our proven investment philosophy and alpha-generating capabilities. Strong performance on ESG can often indicate that a company is well managed and takes a holistic approach to risk \u2013 qualities that indicate strong fundamental performance, not just the ability to tick boxes on ESG scorecards.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Nick Phillips, Head of GSAM\u2019s International Retail Business, said: \u201cOur clients are increasingly seeking investment solutions which place a real emphasis on ESG considerations. This launch represents GSAM\u2019s second ESG-focused offshore mutual fund and we are believe our EM team is perfectly placed to deliver this solution for our clients.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The Portfolio is a new sub-fund of the UCITS-qualifying Luxembourg-domiciled Goldman Sachs Funds SICAV.
