MIRABAUD SUSTAINABLE GLOBAL DIVIDEND STRATEGY
A focus on delivering sustainable and growing dividends by integrating multi-thematic and ESG approaches
Our Approach
Multi-thematic focus to drive your dividends and growth
A focus on multiple global themes lies at the centre of the strategy’s investment approach, which provides sustainable growth drivers for the companies in which we invest.
Our Approach
Delivering you sustainable and growing dividends
Our disciplined approach leads us to access both cyclical and defensive yields, which maintains a balanced portfolio. We select companies with a high sustainable current income as well as future income growth.
Our approach
Managing risk for clients is always a priority
A focus on fundamentally based, active stock selection, paying close attention to the risks that each company faces, leading to better informed decision-making around the sustainability of growth and dividends. At the portfolio level, the combination of stocks across multiple sectors with different growth and defensive characteristics mitigate unwanted factor risks, which is also augmented by leveraging multiple themes.
Our Approach
Integrated esg approach to select dividend leaders
Employs a consistent approach to the integration of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations when selecting companies. We don’t own any of the vice areas exposed to potential regulatory change, such as tobacco, and we only look to invest with ESG leaders.

Our Approach
ESG integrated approach
The Portfolio Managers have been running sustainable Global Equity portfolios since 2013, screening out the vice sectors which are at risk of regulatory change, and low ESG scoring companies. We look for Leaders in the ESG space within their industries. To help do this, we leverage Sustainalytics, a leading independent information source on ESG criteria. Mirabaud Asset Management also has a dedicated team of Socially Responsible Investing specialists that work jointly with the investment team to strengthen ESG engagement and capture the non-financial risks of the companies selected for the strategy.
Our approach to achieving sustainable dividend investing
We select companies with a combination of stable high free cash flow yields and strong balance sheets. This means they can deliver a solid yield today, with the underlying growth and stability in cash flows to grow future dividends. We also believe that companies positioned to benefit from global themes enjoy additional growth factors, providing more stability in longer term dividend generation across all market environments.
Multi-thematic focus
We’ve been employing thematic investing in this strategy since its inception. We have identified eight global themes, and multiple sub-themes underneath them, which share common attributes – innovation and structural growth drivers as a result long-term sustainable demand from consumers or industries. When we consider a company, it’s always in the context of how it fits within one of our themes, which provide companies with additional growth drivers.

DECARBONISATION
We have reclassified our “Renewables” theme to “Decarbonisation”. Renewables are a key piece of the puzzle in the transition to carbon neutrality, but alongside this there are other key areas of the transition, which will represent a significant tailwind for those companies exposed to them. As ever, we continue to look for global leaders in these areas.
