Responsible investing advisory

Compliance reports. Disclosure frameworks. Corporate sustainability strategy.You are not a company. You are a capital allocator. Your responsible investing questions are different:
‍
+  How do we build a credible responsible investing policy that holds up to LP scrutiny?
+  Which ESG funds and portfolio companies are genuine leaders - and which are telling a good story?
+  How do we operationalise proxy voting and stewardship without a dedicated team?
+  What does SFDR Article 8 or 9 actually require - and are we doing it correctly?
+  How do we integrate climate risk into due diligence before a deal closes, not after?

Our advisors have sat in investment committees, built stewardship programmes from scratch, managed pension fund ESG integration, and executed proxy voting at scale. We are not consultants who learned responsible investing. We are practitioners who lived it - at AustralianSuper, HSBC, Nordic pension funds, Daiwa Asset Management, and Vancity.

‍We are independent. No data products to upsell. No ratings to defend. No conflicts with the companies we help you assess. Our only interest is giving you clear, usable responsible investing guidance — without the noise.

‍We are global - without being generic. Responsible investing looks different in Stockholm, Singapore, Toronto, and Abu Dhabi. Regulatory requirements, stewardship norms, and ESG fund expectations vary significantly by market. Our alliance spans Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. One framework does not fit all markets. We don't pretend otherwise.

‍We are right-sized for you. If you manage between $1B and $35B in assets, you face the same responsible investing regulatory pressure as the largest institutions - SFDR, ISSB, TCFD, the UK Stewardship Code, HKEX ESG requirements - but without their in-house teams or Big 4 retainers. That is exactly the investor GAA was built to serve.

Pension funds & institutional investors - Developing responsible investing frameworks, stewardship policies, and engagement programmes. Meeting trustee obligations and beneficiary expectations on ESG integration and climate risk. Aligning with the UK Stewardship Code, UNPRI, and ISSB standards.

‍Mid-market asset managers - Building or strengthening responsible investing integration across equity, fixed income, and multi-asset strategies. Navigating SFDR classification, ESG fund disclosure, client reporting, and manager-level sustainability requirements.

‍Family offices - Translating values into investable responsible investing policy. Aligning portfolios with impact priorities across generations. Preparing for ownership transitions where ESG expectations are materially higher than they were a decade ago.

‍Private equity & venture firms - Integrating responsible investing criteria into pre-deal ESG due diligence, portfolio monitoring, and exit readiness. Responding to LP ESG questionnaires with substance rather than boilerplate.

Responsible Investment Framework Design - We build RI policies and responsible investing frameworks that are credible, proportionate, and genuinely operational -  not shelf documents. Covers investment beliefs, ESG integration methodology, exclusion and engagement criteria, and governance structures that hold up to trustee and LP scrutiny.

‍Stewardship & Proxy Voting - Practical responsible investing support for investors who need to exercise ownership rights but lack a dedicated stewardship team. Voting policy design, company engagement programmes, and stewardship reporting aligned with the UK Stewardship Code and international standards.

ESG Due Diligence (Pre-Investment) - Structured responsible investing assessment integrated into your investment or acquisition process. We review material ESG risks, governance quality, climate exposure, and disclosure credibility - before the deal closes, not after.

‍SFDR & Regulatory Readiness - Practical guidance on responsible investing regulation across jurisdictions — SFDR Article 8 and 9, EU Taxonomy, ISSB/IFRS S1/S2, and market-specific mandates including Bursa Malaysia, HKEX, and NSRF. We work across markets, not just Brussels.

‍Climate Risk Integration - Incorporating TCFD-aligned climate risk analysis into responsible investing decisions — portfolio construction, asset allocation, and investment process design. Covers physical risk, transition risk, and net-zero pathway alignment across asset classes.Portfolio-level review or ongoing advisory. All investor types.

ESG Fund Reporting & LP Communication - Helping GPs and asset managers produce responsible investing reporting that satisfies LP requests, withstands regulatory scrutiny, and tells a coherent story - without overpromising or greenwashing.

‍Advisory Retainers - For investors who want ongoing access to senior responsible investing expertise without the cost of a full-time hire. Monthly retainers provide priority access to relevant advisors, regulatory briefings on SFDR, ISSB and stewardship developments, and ad hoc support as questions arise.
