All funds advised by us benefit from the proven and practical approach to sustainability followed by pension funds, financial firms, insurance companies, capital markets, family offices, and endowments.

ESG and Active Engagement

By prioritizing ESG practices, active engagement, sustainable impact evaluation, and adherence to global standards, NCDF Investment Management aims to make a positive and responsible investment impact.

We believe integrating sustainable practices into business operations leads to stronger financial results and long-term viability. Therefore, we systematically assess the impact of our investments, considering business success and the effects on the local economy, community, and environment.

Investment Policies

Our investment policies and processes are built upon years of experience in sustainable investing. We strive to adhere to global standards and engage with other market actors to continuously refine and evolve our approach. Our decision-making at the fund level follows established procedures while incorporating additional steps as needed. 

Exclusion List

We adhere to an exclusion list, ensuring that neither we nor our clients finance any activities, productions, trades, distributions, or involvement with items listed as excluded. 

Sustainability

Sustainability is at the core of our investment approach. As we exclusively source investments from pension funds, financial firms, insurance companies, capital markets, family offices, and endowments, their Sustainability Policy applies to all investments we advise upon. This policy aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and guides our contribution to sustainable development. 

Governance

Our approach to governance at NCDF Investment Management reflects our values and mission. We have established robust processes and policies to effectively direct, administer, and regulate our work, ensuring we meet our obligations and stay true to our commitment to sustainability and impact.
