... In LGT Capital Partners' direct equity and fixed income portfolios, they focus on evaluating individual securities using their 'ESG Cockpit'. This proprietary analysis tool integrates raw data from a range of ESG data providers into over 40 key performance indicators in order to assess the ESG profiles of different companies.
