Aurum Fund Management Ltd. wins “Hedge fund manager of the year award”
Aurum Fund Management Ltd. (“Aurum”) has been named “Hedge fund manager of the year” at Environmental Finance’s Sustainable Investment Awards 2023. The award recognises Aurum’s commitment to ESG integration and the efforts of the company to galvanise the hedge fund industry to have a positive impact.
By including ESG in its risk management process, Aurum engages with underlying managers to ensure awareness of ESG opportunities, such as potential alpha generation associated with the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Consideration is also given to where an underlying manager sits on the ESG integration spectrum so that ESG risks can be considered on a strategy-by-strategy basis. This approach involves regular engagement, ongoing monitoring and assesses all the portfolio’s strategies, according to the firm.
