Mission
Nordis Capital looks to accelerate the rate at which capital markets are addressing the environmental and social issues of our time.
Building a future-positive world
We favor long-term value over short-term profit and look to build investment solutions which reflect our values that go beyond building uniquely financial capital
- Human Capital is product of investment in people to achieve better outcomes.
- Social Capital is the building of networks and relationships that improve the wellbeing of societies.
- Natural capital is the material environment we inherit and look to pass on to future generations;
- Financial capital is what funding is available to individuals and societies to invest and protect against unforeseen risks.
Investment beliefs
- We believe that active asset management is essential to achieve our mission.
- We believe that capital markets can be used to help solve societal issues; sustainability is not a constraint but rather an advantage in achieving long term financial performance.
- To be a successful investor, one needs to anticipate what society will care about in the future; we believe the next decade will be dominated by environmental and social challenges and that the ability to identify themes related to solving these issues will generate superior financial returns.
- We believe that the changing nature of risks and opportunities in our society requires investors to think and act differently.
- We believe that by applying our knowledge of global macro and sustainability and expressing our investment views through sectors, companies and commodities, we can maximize the real-world impact and the financial returns of our investments.
- We believe that the stock price sends an important signal to a company’s management team and stakeholders at large; by owning (or short-selling) stocks according to sustainability criteria, investors can influence corporate action.
- We believe a global investment mindset is needed to address global challenges.
- We believe that achieving superior long-term returns requires sound research, risk/reward considerations and constant, rigorous, risk management.
- We believe that a company or industry’s fundamentals do not sit in a silo and we that must consider all potential external factors (i.e. financial and non-financial information) that can materially effect investments.
Corporate Beliefs
- We believe that by making our knowledge available to our clients and a wider set of stakeholders we can accelerate the pace at which we will achieve our mission.
- We believe that it is our responsibility to act as stewards pass on a better world to future generations.
- We believe that our employees and partners’ individual commitments to socially and environmentally just causes are essential for our firm’s success over the long run.
- We believe that Nordis Capital must act as a model corporate citizen so that our stakeholders fully adhere to the firm’s mission and values.
- We believe in building long-term relationships with our stakeholders and will not compromise on our values for short-term benefits.
- We believe that diversity of all kinds is essential to achieve sustainable and superior financial returns.
