ESG factors for a sustainable performance

  • Allianz Capital Partners has firmly embedded ESG principles in every step of its investment process, from investment analysis and selection to regular monitoring and risk management.
  • These principles also affect the management of the invested companies. ACP works towards compliance with or, if necessary, implementation of ESG standards in the invested companies.
  • ACP uses the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI) as a guideline. Allianz Global Investors committed itself back in 2007 to implementing the six UN Principles for Responsible Investment.

Infrastructure systems with ACP

Infrastructure equity investments are highly illiquid and designed for long term professional investors only.

Investing involves risk. The value of an investment and the income from it may fall as well as rise and investors might not get back the full amount invested. Investing in fixed income instruments may expose investors to various risks, including but not limited to creditworthiness, interest rate, liquidity and restricted flexibility risks. Changes to the economic environment and market conditions may affect these risks, resulting in an adverse effect to the value of the investment. During periods of rising nominal interest rates, the values of fixed income instruments (including short positions with respect to fixed income instruments) are generally expected to decline. Conversely, during periods of declining interest rates, the values of these instruments are generally expected to rise. Liquidity risk may possibly delay or prevent account withdrawals or redemptions. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. If the currency in which the past performance is displayed differs from the currency of the country in which the investor resides, then the investor should be aware that due to the exchange rate fluctuations the performance shown may be higher or lower if converted into the investor’s local currency.
