Socially Responsible Investing
‘Evolutionary, not Revolutionary’
Our Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) Service provides discretionary portfolio options and a range of model portfolio strategies.
The strategies are designed to achieve a set target return based on our existing inflation-plus expertise whilst at the same time, portfolio investments are aligned to the personal values of our clients.
Markets are Changing
ESG Investing
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and the role this plays in investor choice and appetite has finally made its way into the fundamental dialogue. At the end of 2020, proposed MIFID II amendments will make it mandatory for advisers to introduce ESG considerations into the suitability process.
To help you prepare, we will produce a range of insights and communications over the coming months with the use of in house expertise. If you would like to stay informed or register your interest for our ESG Education content by emailing business.development@psigma.com or calling

Clean and transparent fee structure.
SRI Framework - The Four Elements of SRI
The SRI framework dictates the selection of the underlying funds, the four elements of SRI that we assess when selecting the underlying assets are; ESG integration, Sustainable and Impact investing and Engagement.
Specialists, not generalists
With improvements in the release of corporate information relating to environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues, access to the data necessary to enable good due diligence has become easier.
That said, it is imperative to have access to expert interpretation of this data in order to perform the additional financial analysis required to assess SRI compliance and sustainability.
We have a strong track record in identifying and working with investment managers who are specialists in their field.
Our investment process means that we can seek out the right funds and mandates to enable us to deliver long-term returns aligned to the four pillars of SRI.
