Let's Create a Partnership
The portfolio managers use a variety of analytical research tools and techniques to help them make decisions about buying or holding issuers that meet their investment criteria and selling issuers that do not. In addition to fundamental financial metrics, the portfolio managers may also consider environmental, social, and/or governance (ESG) data to evaluate an issuer's sustainability characteristics. However, the portfolio managers may not consider ESG data with respect to every investment decision and, even when such data is considered, they may conclude that other attributes of an investment outweigh sustainability-related considerations when making decisions. Sustainability-related characteristics may or may not impact the performance of an issuer or the strategy, and the strategy may perform differently if it did not consider ESG data. Issuers with strong sustainability-related characteristics may or may not outperform issuers with weak sustainability-related characteristics. ESG data used by the portfolio managers often lacks standardization, consistency, and transparency, and may not be available, complete, or accurate. Not all American Century investment strategies incorporate ESG data into the process.
