Investing for a better world
ESG Investment Mandate
- Future-oriented investing
- Based on ESG criteria (Environment, Social and Governance)
- Individual lines complemented with specific ESG investment funds
At ABN AMRO Private Banking, the ESG Investment Mandate consists of companies that pursue financial and social returns. These companies find the right balance between people, environment and society. To be included in the portfolio, a company must meet strict sustainability criteria, including the ESG risk score.
This mandate makes it possible to limit the risks regarding the environment, social factors and poor governance through exclusions of controversial countries and activities.

What the mandate comprises
The portfolio managers of the ESG Investment Mandate make clear choices when constructing your investment portfolio.
- Equity
The equity portfolio of the ESG Investment Mandate consists of companies from developed markets that meet our sustainability criteria. The portfolio is complemented with investment funds to exploit the potential of emerging markets, among other things. - Bonds
When investing in bonds, a good balance between risk and return is paramount which is why our experts favour bonds with high credit ratings and different maturities. Bonds outside the eurozone can also be included in the portfolio, with currency risk hedged. The bond component is composed of corporate, government and supranational loans that promote environmental and social characteristics. Both in developed and emerging countries. - Alternative investments
Experts have the opportunity to invest in investment funds that promote environmental and social characteristics. These include, for example, school & community microfinance and renewable energy. - Liquidities
Part of the portfolio can also be held in liquidities.
