ESG-Portfolio-Management

ESG Portfolio Management understands the crucial role ESG investments play in the transition towards more sustainable and resilient economies. The firm was founded in 2018 in Frankfurt by managing partner Christoph Klein, a CFA charterholder with a 20-year career managing investment portfolios at institutions such as Deutsche Bank and Deutsche Asset Management. Klein has immersed himself in the world of sustainable investing and is recognised as an industry thought-leader. ESG Portfolio Management’s team diligently pursues the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The firm is the managing advisor of three SDG Evolution Flexibel funds (combined volume total €10.7mio) and the Mayance Fair Value Bond Fonds (€21mio volume). The firm backs companies at the vanguard of the sustainability transition and follows strong engagement policies to ensure continued — and improving — ESG compliance. ESG Portfolio Management stays close to investees and tracks their progress via fundamental analysis. It exercises proxy voting rights to influence decision-makers, and prunes problematic issuers from its portfolio. The firm is committed to transparency and publishes a monthly report on the funds’ carbon footprint, using the framework of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures. It promotes knowledge-sharing and collaborates with partners in private and public sectors. ESG Portfolio Management is one of 36 signatories in the 2020 Leaders Group published by the UN Principles of Responsible Investment. The CFI.co judging panel presents ESG Portfolio Management with the 2020 Best Green Finance Expert (Germany) award.
