Our ambition is to meet our clients' performance requirements by investing responsibly and giving meaning to their investments. Our global and integrated approach, at the heart of our investment philosophy, draws on financial and extra-financial research to help us implement our strongest convictions. We are convinced that best practices in the field of ESG (environmental, social and governance) contribute to delivering sustainable performance. As shareholders, we believe it is important to raise companies' awareness on these best practices. We therefore initiate an open dialogue with their management teams to help drive improvement.

SPICE, our model for fundamental analysis
A company can only create long-term sustainable value if this value is shared with all its stakeholders
Our fundamental analysis model, which we have called SPICE, is based on 80 qualitative or quantitative criteria structured around 5 stakeholder types. Our aim is to measure a company's ability to create value for each of its stakeholders, based on a thorough rating process. This step has a decisive impact on the risk premiums and target prices set by our team of fund manager-analysts, based on company valuations.
