Managing Risk - Delivering Returns.

We have dubbed our investment philosophy - REFLECTIVE INVESTING. It is our proprietary process of looking beyond just the financial performance of investments. It's the measurement and reporting on how closely the investment aligns with the asset owner's goals.

In addition to traditional financial metrics, by reviewing Social and Environmental criteria, we believe we have a more holistic view on an investment's performance potential. We are able to "S.E.E." if your portfolio will deliver on your financial goals and values.

The S.E.E. Methodology

Combining social, environmental, AND expected financial practices.

Social

Social criteria reflect how companies engage, support and deploy human capital. How do companies treat their employees, customers, shareholders, and suppliers? Better Human Capital Practices Lower turnover and more productive workers.

Better Human Capital Practices

Lower turnover and more productive workers.

Enviromental

How do the company's sustainability practices make the world greener while mitigating risk and driving value? Does the company act on sourcing materials, product packaging, supply chain miles and energy consumption thoughtfully?

Environmental Stewardship

Climate risk compliance, cost savings, brand halo.

Expected Financial

Reflective Investing makes the case that not only are these companies good stewards, they are also great investments.

Financial Performance

The S.E.E. Methodology doesn’t require sacrificing returns for values alignment.

Theory of shared value

Corporation

Society

Why shared value?

Policies & Practices that enhance the competitiveness of a company can simultaneously advance economic and social conditions in the communities in which it operates. Corporations need vibrant communities to create demand for their products and to provide a supportive business environment. Society needs healthy, competitive companies to create jobs, buy local goods and pay taxes.

Reflective Investing is rooted in the idea that corporations and society are not enemies. Corporations need strong communities to generate demand for their products and to support their growth through public infrastructure and the rule of law. Society needs living wage jobs and a tax base by which to support its citizens. Where these needs intersect, in a zone of shared values, is the sweet spot of Reflective Investing. It is our conviction that companies that demonstrate and remain committed to policies and practices that enhance their own competitiveness, while simultaneously advancing economic and social outcomes in their communities, not only meet the ethical criteria of socially minded investors but stand best poised to prosper as investments.

Next Gen Investing

Historically, to combine financial metrics and ESG criteria meant to sacrifice performance. It has evolved from negatively screening portfolios that remove “sin” stocks to “ESG Integration,” where environmental, social and governance factors are considered as part of the over-all investment process. At Reflection Asset Management, we leverage a proprietary model that has been in use for over a decade at three Fortune 100 Financial Institutions. This process drives security selection and portfolio construction, and can be applied to asset allocation as noted above. This unique methodology helps asset owners determine not only what their financial goals are, but how their portfolio is positioned to deliver return and minimize risk.

In addition to asset allocation, our proprietary framework can be leveraged to review third-party managers and ETFs for compliance with articulated values (see below). And of course, it is the cornerstone of our 7 model SMAs and 5 Sustainable Development Goals portfolios. This framework, deployed in conjunction with our industry changing digital values discovery process and custom reporting features, will prove to be the new standard investment management.
