Robeco to Launch New Range of Transition Investing Strategies
Asset manager Robeco has announced its plans to introduce a new range of transition investing strategies aimed at identifying investment opportunities in companies undergoing sustainable transformations. These strategies will cover various asset classes and industries, including carbon-intensive sectors, with the goal of generating alpha. Robeco aims to make transition investing accessible to a wider audience, as most current efforts in this area are focused on private markets and real estate.
The new strategies will initially concentrate on Asia and emerging markets, where significant investment is required to achieve net-zero targets. Using proprietary frameworks, Robeco will differentiate between transition leaders and laggards and channel investments towards companies demonstrating progress in sustainable development. The firm’s extensive experience in sustainable research and investing, spanning 25 years, has allowed it to develop data and frameworks to address challenges related to the scarcity of publicly available information in transition investing.
