For us it is important that our clients fully understand our investment policy.
Sustainability
AS Kawe Kapital considers that contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals adopted at the 2015 United Nations summit is likely to be aligned, in the long term, with the best interests of the majority of shareholders of listed companies.
We primarily invest in publicly traded securities and, through this, are exposed to the increasing importance of sustainability factors as drivers of value creation. At the client’s request, we may, in the course of providing investment advice or portfolio management services, take into account client-specific exclusions or standards, including the integration of sustainability risks.
We do not consider the adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors
At the entity level, AS Kawe Kapital does not consider the adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors. For AS Kawe Kapital, this is optional under applicable regulation. The decision not to assess adverse impacts at the entity level is based on the scale of our activities, the nature of the portfolios we manage, and the type of investors to whom our services are directed.
At the portfolio level, however, we may consider the adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors based on an agreement with the client. Where a portfolio promotes environmental or social characteristics or has sustainable investment as its objective, we take into account the adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors to the extent described in the portfolio management agreement. For portfolios that do not promote environmental or social characteristics and do not have sustainable investment as their objective, we do not consider the adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors.
Transparency of remuneration policies in relation to the integration of sustainability risks
We apply remuneration policies that are aligned with the company’s business objectives, values and long-term interests. The structure of the current remuneration system promotes sound and effective risk management. Its objective is to avoid risk-taking that exceeds the level of risk tolerated under applicable laws, internal policies and client agreements.
The management of sustainability risks at the portfolio level forms part of the performance assessment of relevant personnel. This includes, among other things, adherence to the principles of responsible investing, including the analysis and monitoring of portfolio companies in order to mitigate sustainability risks.
Performance is assessed in accordance with the framework set out in the client agreement.
