Socially Responsible Investment
Montagu pays close attention to ethical, social and
environmental considerations when exercising its investment
powers.
To date, the private equity community has tended to address issues
surrounding Socially Responsible Investment ("SRI") implicitly
rather than explicitly. With commitments to private equity
increasingly being seen as a core asset class by institutional
investors, Montagu anticipates that SRI issues will correctly
assume an increasing importance in private equity investment
strategies.
SRI at Montagu involves considering environmental, public health,
safety and social issues associated with Portfolio Companies when
evaluating whether to invest in a Portfolio Company as well as
during the period of ownership.
Montagu believes that a key part of the role of SRI is to improve
the environmental, social and corporate governance ("ESG") of a
portfolio company, in particular when considering the post
acquisition strategy for potential investments.
