Principal Asset Management

Sustainable investing

Market-responsive, flexible strategy designed to move up and down the risk spectrum based on assessment of risk premiums relative to the outlook for longer term fundamental investment performance.

Our sustainable investing beliefs

By fostering relationships that embrace a holistic view of sustainable investing and the factors driving risk and return in portfolios, we believe ESG integration can help influence investment outcomes and bolster climate, regulatory, and environmental risk mitigation in client portfolios.

At Principal Asset Management, our beliefs around sustainable investing align with the six elements of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), sponsored by the United Nations.
