ESG APPROACH
At London & Capital (L&C), our long-term approach is central to our investment philosophy. And ESG-aware investing is fundamentally aligned with the key tenet – investing for the long-term in assets with sustainability and resilience, where risks can be actively managed.
Our three-pronged ESG proposition allows clients to continue to reap these benefits whilst also selecting the level of ESG integration they want in their portfolio and gives them the ability to fine tune what balance of E, S or G they’d like to focus on.
Our ESG proposition has three layers:
- Integration
- Negative Screening
- Thematic Investing

THE AndPapers – LONDON & CAPITAL’S QUARTERLY MACRO OUTLOOK
Equities
- Resilience at the core – we believe a core of high quality companies that deliver downside protection (which we refer to as ‘STAR’ companies) is crucial to outperformance; complemented by satellite themes designed to exploit mega-trends and tactical opportunities
- Active – our equity strategies are actively managed, with high conviction and are not tied to benchmarks
- Fundamental – to identify opportunities and gain a full understanding of risks, we apply a disciplined and rigorous approach to our macroeconomic and credit analysis
- Disciplined and repeatable – our process takes a consistent approach to identifying opportunities, combining quantitative screening and bottom-up qualitative due diligence
“Our overarching belief in equity investing is that avoiding significant downturns is essential in maximising longer term growth. As such, our equity strategy is focused on a core of high quality compounding companies.”
ROGER JONES
Head of Equities
Fixed Income
- Strategically focused – we identify themes that will deliver longer term outcomes for our investors
- Unconstrained – we are not wedded to benchmarks and search for value and absolute growth in a full range of fixed income securities
- Fundamental – we identify opportunities and fully understand the risks involved. We apply a disciplined and rigorous approach to our macroeconomic and credit analysis
- Risk controlled – when investing in ‘higher beta’ areas of fixed income, to maximise returns, we aim to control volatility of returns through portfolio diversification and the use of derivatives to manage duration and credit risk
“We believe outperformance is delivered through a selective and unconstrained approach, identifying value across asset classes, sectors and countries through a combination of disciplined top-down and bottom-up analysis.”
SANJAY JOSHI
Head of Fixed Income
Alternative Investments
- Market context – we take a top-down macro and market based approach to evaluating opportunities and informing investment decisions
- Access – our network of industry relationships and databases are used to identify new hedge fund strategies
- Risk – we employ a robust due diligence process, both from an investment and operational perspective, to ensure each fund meets a high set of standards and ultimately delivers attractive risk adjusted
returns over the long term
“Our approach to alternative investments is to provide true diversification to traditional asset class exposures. We utilise a robust due diligence process to identify and exploit alphas which are complementary to our clients’ portfolios.”
