ESG drives better business every day.
Before we invest, we consider a wide range of factors – among them, environmental, sustainability and governance. We believe these critical policies are at the forefront for successful business today, and we want to be sure our investment policies reflect this commitment.
It’s the right thing to do for our firm – and for the investors we’re proud to serve.

While ITE believes ESG factors can enhance long term value, ITE does not pursue an ESG based investment strategy nor does ITE consider itself a manager focused on ESG issues or an impact fund sponsor and does not market itself or its funds based on environmental or social standards. Any references to the environmental, social or governance represent standards or improvements made within a portfolio investment and are not provided as an indication of ITE’s environmental stewardship ITE chooses investment projects based on an investment objective which seeks to generate superior risk adjusted returns and does not pursue an ESG based strategy or limit its investments to those that meet specific ESG criteria.
