Our Philosophy

“We believe the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) research into our investment process allows us to identify leading companies with potential to outperform their peers over the long-term.”

~ Matt Zalosh, CIO, International Equities

We believe a long-term view is necessary to generate sustainable returns. All too often corporate decision makers are forced to focus on the next quarter’s financial results rather than long view. In a similar vein, we believe markets typically misvalue the risks and opportunities presented by environmental, social, and governance factors, both in terms of the timing and the magnitude of outcomes.

Steadfast in these beliefs, Boston Common seeks to preserve and build capital through diversified portfolios of what we believe are high-quality, sustainable, undervalued stocks. We seek companies with sound governance and a history of responsible financial management that we believe are capable of consistent, visible profitability over a long time horizon. We believe shareholder engagement plays a critically important role in raising the sustainability profile of our portfolios empowers company management to be long-term in its focus.

Our competitive advantage lies in the fundamental judgment of our experienced investment professionals, the diversity of perspectives on our team, and our innovative investment approach.
