NBI Sustainable Portfolios apply a multi-faceted strategy to responsible investing and aim to invest in a sustainable manner.
Portfolio managers use a variety of recognized approaches to guide their investment decisions.
All NBI Sustainable Portfolios are built on the following 3 responsible investment approaches.
ESG integration takes into account environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria in investment analysis and decisions.

Portfolio managers ensure engagement by using their rights and influence as shareholders or bondholders to promote sustainable practices and create long-term value.
In addition, the funds that make up the NBI Sustainable Portfolios all incorporate one or more of these sustainable investment approaches.
The best-in-class approach focuses on investing in issuers, companies, sectors, or countries that demonstrate superior ESG performance compared to their peers, a benchmark index, or a predefined standard.
The thematic investment approach targets issuers or companies likely to benefit from sustainability trends such as climate or health.
The impact investing approach enables investors to pursue positive, measurable environmental and social outcomes while aiming for an attractive financial return.
Thanks to NBI’s open architecture, the portfolio managers selected to manage the sustainable funds within the NBI Sustainable Portfolios bring world-renowned expertise in responsible investing.
