Resilience and ESG

Increasingly, we face a world of disruptive forces - climate change, housing affordability, geo-political upheaval, demographic shifts, social cohesion, resource availability, rapidly advancing technology, and regulatory changes.

Investors, firms and communities benefit from assessing these impacts and making thoughtful choices on how to move forward.

Based on research done by MSCI and others, there is a significant causal link between ESG and performance. The research, which examined 10 years of live ESG Ratings data of over 1,600 stocks, found that ESG affected the valuation and performance of companies both through their systematic risk profile (lower costs of capital and higher valuations) and their idiosyncratic risk profile (higher profitability and lower exposures to tail risk), and that changes in a company's ESG characteristics may be a useful financial indicator in its own right. At HT, we evaluate both organizational risks linked to companies’ specific business model and risk management processes, as well as systematic risks, which are macroeconomic in nature and are linked to companies’ exposure to changes in the market environment, market prices or changes in regulation.
