HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bridgeway Capital Management (“Bridgeway”), a leader in relational investing, and RadiantESG Global Investors (“RadiantESG”), leaders in delivering next-generation ESG investment solutions, are delighted to announce a collaboration between their firms to expand ESG integration in Bridgeway’s US Large-Cap Growth strategy.
The collaboration began as a consulting arrangement in 2020 with Bridgeway’s Responsible Investing Committee seeking expertise and insight from RadiantESG to assess the evolving ESG landscape and expand ESG considerations in Bridgeway’s statistical, evidence-based investment process. The consulting relationship evolved organically to identify opportunities to serve investors together, resulting in collaboration on research for Bridgeway’s Large-Cap Growth strategy starting in March 2021. Today, Bridgeway integrates ESG considerations into investment decisions for the Bridgeway Large-Cap Growth strategy with a differentiated, diversified approach that utilizes ESG ratings complemented by RadiantESG’s controversy and impact insights and implemented by Bridgeway’s diverse, experienced team of investment professionals. Both RadiantESG and Bridgeway incorporate ESG considerations in all investment offerings, although their collaboration is currently focused on Bridgeway’s Large-Cap Growth strategy.
Bridgeway and RadiantESG share a passion for systematic investing and making a big difference for investors and the world. Both firms believe strongly in the power of diversity, equity, and inclusion and embrace the vital role that capital markets play in furthering progress on environmental, social, and governance issues.
Bridgeway’s President and CEO, Tammira Philippe, says, “As Bridgeway builds an enduring firm with an extraordinary commitment to clients, colleagues, and community, we are excited to expand the integration of ESG considerations in our investment strategies and collaborate with RadiantESG Global Investors. From the moment we met, I could see our alignment on making a positive impact for investors, our industry, and the world.”
Heidi Ridley, RadiantESG’s co-founder and CEO, added, “ESG information is vital if we are to understand the true threats and opportunities companies face. We are thrilled that our consulting engagement with Bridgeway evolved into an exciting product collaboration that enables us to leverage our unique ESG insights through a creative partnership with an organization that shares our commitment to fostering meaningful change.”
“As we expanded our systematic ESG research and integration in all Bridgeway investment strategies, RadiantESG met our high standards for rigorous analysis and thoughtful implementation. We are pleased to have their insights on controversy and impact to help us evaluate opportunities and risks in our US Large-Cap Growth strategy,” remarked Elena Khoziaeva, Bridgeway’s Head of US Equity.
Kathryn McDonald, RadiantESG’s co-founder and head of investments and sustainability, added, “There was an immediate meeting of the minds between Bridgeway and RadiantESG. We have a shared foundation in quantitative, proof-based approaches to equity investing and a belief that sustainable investing does not mean sacrificing returns. Our partnership is aimed at creating something that we believe is superior to other offerings.”
