Capital Responsibility
Sixth Street seeks to deliver compelling risk-adjusted returns while conducting its business with high standards of integrity. The firm believes that sustainability and governance factors can affect the risk profile, profitability, and general performance of investments.
In 2020, Sixth Street became a signatory to the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (“PRI”). Sixth Street’s approach to responsible investment is informed by six principles set forth by the PRI.
Sixth Street’s diversified, collaborative investment platforms and flexible, long-term capital base allows it to invest thematically and across sectors, geographies, and asset classes. Sixth Street may face constraints in certain of its strategies (e.g., credit-focused) around access to information or influence. The firm does not currently employ impact strategies.
Sixth Street aims to follow the guidelines below to distinguish the responsible investment approach by asset class, strategy, and its respective level of control:
— For those potential investments in which the firm will have a controlling position, it integrates responsible investment considerations into investment decisions where appropriate. The firm assesses sustainability and governance risks and opportunities as part of its due diligence process and factors potentially significant impacts into its underwriting;
— For those potential investments where it will have influence such as through certain governance rights, to the extent that sustainability or governance information is available to it, the firm assesses those risks and opportunities as part of its overall due diligence process and factors potentially significant impacts into its underwriting, where appropriate; and,
— For certain investments where it will not exercise control or have limited ability to assess or monitor sustainability or governance factors, it endeavors to identify and, where appropriate, elevate the consideration of responsible investment issues within diligence processes.
