ESG Integration1

ESG factors can impact our assessment of investment risks and opportunities. Compatible with our goal of seeking to provide strong risk adjusted returns, we believe it is important to consider material ESG factors as part of the investment process.

For more information on ESG integration across investment teams, such as, Fundamental Equities, Quantitative Equities, Fixed Income and Alternative Assets, please refer to TDAM's Sustainable Investing Approach.

Stewardship and Proxy Voting

TDAM takes an active stewardship approach across its equity, fixed income and alternative asset portfolios, including engagement with companies and proxy voting on certain ESG-related issues. These elements of stewardship serve as avenues to both develop a better understanding of a company and allow us to convey our views to the board and management.
