Melbourne Capital Group joins the Principles for Responsible Investment

Melbourne Capital Group has become a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), formalising the firm’s ongoing commitment to responsible investing.

PRI is the world’s leading proponent of responsible investment.

In becoming a signatory to the PRI, Melbourne Capital Group has demonstrated its adherence the PRI’s principles of investment and its commitment to responsible investing.  

Rob Atherton, Head of International Wealth at Melbourne Capital Group, commented; “we are proud to become a signatory to the PRI formalising our existing commitment to responsible investing and professional best practice. Since our inception, our focus has been long-term, sustainable wealth growth for our clients. This has seen us integrate ESG criteria and risk considerations into our financial strategies as a standard practice and proactively seek investment opportunities that make a difference. We welcome the PRI’s support as we continue to invest responsibly on behalf our clients as we work to help them achieve their financial goals.”  

James Robertson, Head of Asia for the PRI, commented; “we are pleased to welcome Melbourne Capital Group to the PRI. As one our responsible investors, we look forward to working alongside and supporting the firm to create sustainable markets that contribute to a more prosperous world for all.”

David Atkin, CEO of the PRI, said; “Melbourne Capital Group’s commitment to incorporating sustainability factors into its investment strategies reflects a growing trend among wealth managers that recognise responsible investment not only aligns with their fiduciary duties, but is increasingly important to their clients’ values and goals. We look forward to supporting Melbourne Capital Group as they respond to these evolving preferences and contribute to a more resilient financial system.”
