ESG Integrated Core

BRIGHT FUTURE SMALLER COMPANIES

Bright Future Smaller Companies is designed to identify the leaders of the future and benefit from the upside opportunities associated with smaller capitalization companies in the US that also exhibit ESG Leaders, ESG Evolvers, and Impact Leaders characteristics. We believe that this combination of attributes will lead to strong risk-adjusted active returns over a full market cycle. Candidates for our portfolios are the stocks of companies that sit at the intersection of fundamental strength and ESG; we pick names that are attractive in the eyes of our proprietary quality, sentiment, and valuation models as well as when viewed through the lens of our Positive Change Model.

Bright Future Smaller Companies is a diversified portfolio of 70-90 US small-mid cap stocks targeting an alpha* of 3% with market-like total volatility.

POSITIVE TREND QUALITY

Positive Trend Quality seeks to capture the return potential and transformative power of the largest global companies. The strategy incorporates our proprietary ESG methodology within a next generation systematic fundamental process designed to deliver a core global equity strategy with lower total volatility, higher risk-adjusted returns, and superior ESG relative to the broader equity market. The portfolio’s investment logic is anchored on our proprietary quality model which employs a ‘contextual alpha’ perspective, seeking to capture opportunity according to individual companies’ earnings profiles. Importantly, every stock in the portfolio has a strong ESG profile along one or more of our Positive Change dimensions.

Positive Trend Quality is well diversified across all economic sectors and regions. The portfolio typically holds 120 – 150 global mega- large- and mid-cap names targeting an alpha* of 2% with lower-than-market total volatility.

ONE LIFE

The One Life strategy takes its inspiration from the World Health Organization (WHO)’s One Health concept[1], which is the study of the intersection of human, animal, and environmental health. Every investment in the portfolio has significant exposure to one or more of Radiant’s five impact themes, which on-align to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs)[2]

We begin by isolating companies that we believe will be tomorrow’s leaders driving a healthier future – companies with attractive company fundamentals and products and services significantly aligned to the UNSDGs. We use systematic engagement, traditional engagement, and active voting to leverage the power of our clients’ capital toward creating positive impact.

The strategy will not hold any company with products that are deemed to be obstructive to the SDGs in focus, companies with poor ESG profiles, or companies tied to severe controversies.

One Life is a focused portfolio of 60-80 global all-cap stocks targeting an alpha* of 3% with market-like total volatility.

POSITIVE TRANSFORMATION
