Manager's responsible investing approach

Artesian believes that a proactive approach to Environmental, Societal and Governance issues provides advantages to its business, investment performance, customers, and employees. As a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investing, Artesian aims to invest capital in alignment with its own and its clients' values, and it also focuses on its own and its portfolio's footprint. Artesian is committed to continually improving its approach to responsible investing, the tools it uses, the clarity of its reporting, and its engagement with the broader community.

As applicable and appropriate, Artesian incorporates ESG issues into its investment analysis and decision-making processes, engages on ESG issues with applicable investments it manages, seeks appropriate and applicable disclosure on ESG issues by investments it manages, reports on its ESG activities and progress to investors, and supports the implementation of ESG practices in the investment management industry. ESG integration occurs across Artesian's investment platform based on the asset class and the investment teams' specific processes and strategies.
