Investment Overview

The ClearBridge Large Cap Value ESG Portfolios are designed for investors seeking long-term growth using a large-capitalization value investment style. The ClearBridge Large Cap Value ESG Portfolios are run by Bob Feitler, Dmitry Khaykin and their team.

The ESG Investment Program actively incorporates environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into the fundamental research platform and the stock-selection process. In addition, ongoing company engagement and shareholder advocacy are key components of the Program.

A few examples of the ESG considerations include:

  • Innovative workplace policies, employee benefits and programs
  • Environmental management system strength, eco-efficiency and life-cycle analysis 
  • Community involvement, strategic philanthropy and reputation management 
  • Strong corporate governance and independence on the board 

ClearBridge is a Signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment, and is affiliated with the Investor Network on Climate Risk, the Carbon Disclosure Project, the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility, the Global Impact Investing Network, and the US Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment.

Investment Philosophy
  • Managers utilize an interactive, research-driven approach to identify companies with strong business franchises and attractive valuations, and which have met our environmental, social and governance [ESG] criteria

Strong business franchises

  • Proven business models that we understand
  • Companies with sustainable competitive advantage
  • Capable of generating solid returns across a range of potential scenarios

Attractive valuations

  • Timing and probability of cash flows
  • Discount earnings from emerging business models or products
  • Evaluate price relative to normalized earnings power

There is no guarantee that the Portfolio's objectives will be met.

Investment Process

Investment Process

Step 1 - Develop a Macroeconomic Outlook

  • Consider broad economic and financial trends, which helps create a framework for individual security analysis.

Step 2 - Define the Investment Universe

  • Utilize bottom-up analysis to identify best ideas that include companies which we believe have strong franchises and the potential for price appreciation.

Step 3 - Employ Fundamental Analysis and Identify Catalysts

  • Examine relative valuation, identify favorable entry points and focus on normalized earnings.
  • Seek to achieve a valuation better than that of the S&P 500 Index.

Step 4 - Construct Portfolio and Manage Risk

  • Identify relevant socially aware considerations for each sector and compare management culture, programs and corporate policies.

Step 5 - Monitor Continuously

Select from among these candidates those with attractive valuations that meet ESG sustainable research criteria.

The investment process may change over time. The characteristics set forth above are intended as a general illustration of some of the criteria the strategy team considers in selecting securities for client portfolios. There is no guarantee investment objectives will be achieved.

Risks

What Are the Risks?

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. The managers’ environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategies may limit the types and number of investments available and, as a result, may forgo favorable market opportunities or underperform strategies that are not subject to such criteria. There is no guarantee that the strategy's ESG directives will be successful or will result in better performance.
