Description
RLAM has primarily focused on providing asset management services to UK clients with all staff being UK based.

Approach
Royal London Asset Management (RLAM) is committed to being a responsible investor. This means being a good steward of assets and promoting responsible investment with other stakeholders. The aim is to generate sustainable, risk-adjusted returns that reflect a wider understanding of what will drive economic performance in the future. As part of that commitment RLAM seeks to understand environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities within the investment process.
Our approach is implemented through four pillars of practice including stewardship, engagement, integration of ESG factors into investment decision-making, and bespoke ESG solutions for clients. We offer a variety of approaches, solutions and investment strategies to meet the requirements of our clients.
Within our Sustainable Fund range, ESG integration is at the heart of our investment process and ESG issues are taken into account in every investment we select. We invest in companies that meet one of two criteria a) they provide a ‘net benefit to society’, or b) they are a leader on ESG issues in their sector. Companies must also meet a minimum governance standard.
As a business, we recognise we have a responsibility to monitor and manage the ESG impacts of our own operations as well.
