Philosophy

Each client has unique ESG needs. PGIM Quantitative Solutions offers specialized ESG investment options for every risk and return budget. Our Core ESG strategies can be combined with existing specialist ESG strategies to maintain desirable index characteristics, while our impact solutions are customizable for more complex ESG exposure.

Research and Implementation

ESG is a major focus of our firm-wide research effort at PGIM Quantitative Solutions. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our implementation processes without detracting from investment returns or contributing meaningfully to risk. PGIM Quantitative Solutions introduces a breadth of ESG insights into client portfolios with the same investment returns and risk return profile as the index. Our proprietary data completion methodology helps us identify additional, under-reported risks.

We can also implement client ESG divestment preferences. Our current ESG offerings came about in an effort to solve three major ESG challenges for our clients:

  1. How can we evaluate ESG?
  2. How can we expand ESG insights to overcome limited data?
  3. How can we integrate ESG into client portfolios?
