Responsibility
HarbourVest enjoys a reputation of integrity and honesty based on three decades of uncompromising dedication to the highest standards of business conduct.
Our reputation is our most valuable asset and we work tirelessly to maintain it. Aligning our interests with those of our clients is a cornerstone of HarbourVest’s business. Many of our clients are placing a greater weight on environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) issues when reviewing investment managers.
From an investment management perspective, while the core of our investment due diligence process remains the same, we recognize that screening investment opportunities for ESG issues has become increasingly important in recent years. We ask managers in which HarbourVest funds invest to state their ESG policy and record their response as part of our investment committee process. For those managers that do not have a policy, we encourage them to adopt one. In addition, once an investment is made, we continue to monitor managers for ESG risks. We believe this added screen demonstrates our commitment to continually improve our investment review processes to the benefit of our clients.
