Investment Advice

Sustainable and Impact Investing

Values and investment discipline can be considered together through a mandate that defines priorities, acceptable tradeoffs, and measurable portfolio objectives.

Translate Priorities Into Investment Criteria

Sustainable investing encompasses distinct approaches with different objectives. Galleon works with clients to distinguish personal preferences from portfolio constraints, identify the issues that matter most, and determine how those priorities should influence security selection, manager evaluation, diversification, and performance expectations.

Four Ways to Express an Investment Mandate

01

Exclusions

Limit or eliminate exposure to industries, business activities, or issuers that conflict with explicitly defined client criteria.

02

ESG Integration

Consider financially material environmental, social, and governance factors as part of conventional investment analysis and risk assessment.

03

Thematic Investing

Allocate capital to themes such as energy transition, water, infrastructure, health, or inclusive economic development when supported by a sound investment case.

04

Impact Orientation

Evaluate strategies that intentionally seek identifiable environmental or social outcomes alongside financial return.

Clarity About Intent and Evidence

Labels are not sufficient. The process examines methodology, holdings, stewardship practices, reporting quality, fees, and the consistency between a strategy’s stated objective and its actual portfolio. The result is an approach grounded in the client’s priorities and the economic merits of each investment.
