We actively seek to promote our Responsible Investment Principles both within MacKay Shields and the companies with whom we interact and invest.
Culture
Unlocking the value of a merit-based culture that embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Community
Recognizing the importance of contributing to the health and well-being of communities.
Sustainability
Focusing on sustainable practices that mitigate material climate and other environmental related risks.
Our Approach
Research Driven:
We utilize proprietary and independent research in integrating these principles into client portfolios. We measure and report to our clients our standing on these principles and related financial metrics.
Client Focused:
We strive as best as possible to meet the specific needs of each of our clients consistent with their respective objectives, preferences, and values providing customized solutions as needed.
Active Engagement:
We believe active engagement is our strongest path to influence, and promote our principles and, therefore, prioritize engagement over exclusion and divestiture. We aim to encourage high standards of disclosure and transparency on material risks related to sustainability, culture, and community. We will be active advocates of our principles both through our own efforts and in the selective support of our aligned partners.
In recent years, sustainable investing—which integrates ESG concerns into investment decisions—has moved from a hot trend to a mainstream investment approach.
When we outlined our approach to engaging with companies on ESG issues, many investors asked how we determine what issues are “material.”
