Sustainable & Responsible Investing

Sustainability is embedded in Public Mutual’s values as the premier private unit trust and Private Retirement Scheme (PRS) provider in Malaysia, where we state, among other corporate values, that we aim to deliver long-term value to all our stakeholders by focusing on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) aspects in the business direction while protecting stakeholders’ interests as a whole.

Responsible investing is one of the main themes under Public Mutual’s sustainability initiatives and encompasses 2 key strategies:

Incorporating ESG considerations in the investment process for our unit trust and Private Retirement Scheme (PRS) funds.

Comprising investments in ESG-qualified securities as well as monitoring, engaging and exercising proxy voting rights in relation to the ESG aspects of our investee companies.

Offering more Sustainable and Responsible Investment (SRI) products to cater to investors’ preference for sustainability-focused funds.
