Thematic Investing
Gender equality scores support thematic bond and equity products and provide high-quality input for index creation.
Best-in class
• Dedicated product: Select the best performing companies on gender equality, the overall rating compared to industry peers or on specific gender indicators (such as equal pay, parental leave, or gender balance in leadership positions).
• Complementary screening: Create a complementary screening to an existing best-in-class approach.
Active Ownership
• Proxy Voting: access additional information for informed voting decisions on social and governance related shareholder resolutions
• Engagement: Support the dialogue (for instance, liaise with companies performing poorly on gender equality relative to their peers or in absolute terms, underpin conversations with companies about board equality, future ability to hire talent, and risk management).
Portfolio integration

• For Fund Selectors: Identify companies posing risks to the portfolio or raising concerns, and use these insights in their engagements with the external fund managers.
