CA Cheuvreux the European leader in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) research - Thomson Reuters Extel/UKSIF 2011 report
Again this year, CA Cheuvreux has been awarded first place based on the criterion of fees paid by the main fund managers pursuing Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) policies.
The Thomson Reuters Extel/UKSIF* report names the brokers preferred by European SRI asset managers. For this ninth edition, 400 professionals in 23 countries were queried between March 5 and June 3, 2011. Their votes were weighted by taking into account the volume of fees each paid to its brokers.
CA Cheuvreux and its SRI Research unit were among the top five in all the categories of research presented:
- 1st for SRI brokers,
- 2nd for SRI research,
- 2nd for governance research,
- 3rd for research into special topics,
- 3rd for climate research,
- 5th for renewable energy research.
“These five prizes for the various aspects of ESG (environmental, social and governance) issues reward our continuous research efforts. We are proud of our lead ranking,” says Stéphane Voisin, Head of Sustainable Investment Research.Since 2005, CA Cheuvreux has been a pioneer in integrating extra-financial criteria into its traditional financial analysis. In 2008, it was the first broker to sign the United Nations’ Principles for Responsible Investment. Its analysts strive to provide investors with answers to all their questions concerning companies’ environmental, social and governance behaviour.
CA Cheuvreux has also made available its latest ESG guidebook summarising the most pressing expectations of investors concerning listed companies’
transparency with respect to ESG issues.
