Diversity, equity and inclusion

At 27four we believe that diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are non-negotiable tenets which we embed in all facets of the organisation.

Focus of our DEI strategy:

Within 27four 
Foster a culture where differences among people are embraced, where our processes are impartial and fair and where everyone has a voice.
Nurture cognitively diverse teams who can solve complex problems and generate creative ideas.

As a fiduciary to our clients
Promote the progression of black and women participation in fund management through the 27four DEI Asset Manager Program.
Address DEI in investee companies through our investment stewardship activities.

We are sustainable investors

27four was among the early adopters of responsible investment in South Africa, becoming a signatory to the PRI in 2007. We recognise our critical role as a steward of long-term capital and the need to counter short-termism that has contributed to multiple sustainability challenges. Our approach to ESG implementation is informed by our fiduciary duty to act in our clients’ best long-term interests. We believe this includes improving ESG performance and enhancing real-world impact, alongside to managing risk and delivering superior returns.

Our approach to investing sustainably:

ESG integration – systematically and explicitly incorporating ESG considerations into investment decisions, including security analysis and asset allocation.

Active stewardship – influencing the behaviour of investee companies through proxy voting and engagement, including collaborative engagement.

Impact investment – investing with the intention of generating measurable beneficial social and environmental impact together with investment returns.
