At AlphaSimplex our purpose is to deliver investment success and positively impact clients and colleagues by embracing a thoughtful culture of innovation, collaboration, and excellence.
We recognize that Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations may not be applicable to all investment approaches. However, AlphaSimplex believes the incorporation of ESG policies and oversight is a potential opportunity for research and development that can help deliver investment success and positively impact clients and colleagues. Furthermore, it is a natural extension of our core values of innovation, integrity, transparency, and valuing our clients and colleagues. Given that many of our strategies invest only in liquid futures and forward contracts, and utilize indices rather than individual securities, ESG/responsible investing in the traditional sense is not an option. However, AlphaSimplex is committed to valuing our clients and integrity and we believe it is aligned with our purpose and core values to research opportunities that incorporate ESG into our investment process while following specific investment guidelines and/or investor constraints.
