Responsible Investing at Bridgeway
We have always believed that we can make a difference in the world.
Our Approach to Responsible Investing
We believe markets to be largely efficient and strive to provide systematic exposure to certain risk-based and behaviorally driven factors that can be combined intelligently to deliver results for investors.
We have a long history of accommodating client-specific requests and exclusions of certain securities from an investment universe, such as those deemed socially or environmentally undesirable, or operating in regions where human rights abuses are prevalent.
In addition, we are responsible for voting proxies on behalf of clients that have granted the authority to us. We have engaged Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. (ISS), a third-party proxy voting agent, to provide proxy voting research and execution services on behalf of our clients, while we reserve directive control over ultimate proxy voting. Typically, we follow the ISS Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) Proxy Voting Guidelines.
Our Commitment to Responsible Investing Through Firm Management
Applying responsible investing principles to day-to-day firm management springs from an innate part of who we are. Our firm's culture spurs us to continually seek ways to improve the application of responsible investing principles in our daily work. To date, we have incorporated the application of responsible investing principles by:
- Fostering an environmentally friendly workplace.
- Demonstrating a deep commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
- Acting to create a strong governance framework for the management of the firm.
