Greater safety and resilience
Increasing financial resilience
We believe a resilient financial services sector is necessary for
economic well-being through utility-like provision of banking and
lending.
Saving for the future
As people live longer and governments and corporations retreat from
providing long-term cover and pensions, individuals will need to take
control of their own affairs. Savings rates will have to increase and
companies providing suitable products will see strong growth.
Insuring a sustainable economy
This recognises that insurance, when done well, allows risk to be
spread across a community. This lessens the impact of any single
event, providing greater peace of mind and encouraging greater risk
taking and innovation.
Leading ESG management
How a business is managed operationally, particularly in how
it deals with the ESG challenges, can provide a competitive
advantage over peers.
Improving transport safety
We have identified companies whose products
improve the safety of travel and reduce accidents.
Much of our work has focused on autos, in areas
such as collision avoidance, active braking and semiautonomous driving, but we should not assume cars
will remain dominant, particularly with safe, efficient
mass transport key to reducing emissions. Whatever
the mode of travel, we concentrate on the specialist
companies making the kit to improve safety, from better lighting to
more efficient braking.
Enhancing digital security
As more of our lives and critical services are carried out online, we
need to trust these systems and protect the data from theft. Digital
security helps to make this growing area of the economy secure.
Better monitoring of supply chains and quality control
Companies cannot outsource responsibility for the environmental and
social impacts of their supply chains and we see an opportunity in
businesses improving their monitoring of these areas.
