A key aspect of LGT Capital Partners' approach to ESG and sustainable investing is their longstanding focus on measurable outcomes. For a global investor like LGT Capital Partners, which invests across asset classes and strategies, outcomes are measured in different ways.

For their multi-manager strategies, such as private markets, hedge funds and long-only, LGT Capital Partners focus on the ESG practices of their managers, from aligning portfolios to meet carbon emission reduction targets to increasing the integration of diversity, equity and inclusion aspects into investment decision-making processes.

For direct investment strategies, they assess how closely their public equity and fixed income portfolios are aligned with the sustainable development goals. Finally, for insurance-linked strategies, they consider whether transactions are in line with their high ESG standards and are effective in mitigating environmental or social risks.
