UBC IMANT makes $25M USD investment in multi manager Titan Eclipse Fund focused on impact, sustainability, diversity and inclusion
VANCOUVER, June 23, 2022--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As part of its evolving Responsible Investing Strategy, UBC Investment Management Trust Inc. ("UBC IMANT") is using its influence and capital under management to advance Temp Mail ESG integration within the Hedge Fund sector — a group of fund managers that has been trailing its peers in adapting to the increasing importance that environmental, social, and governance factors contribute to investment performance.
On behalf of the UBC Endowment, UBC IMANT has made an initial $25M USD investment in the Titan Eclipse Fund LP managed by Flatworld Titan LLC, a joint venture between Titan Advisors LLC and Flat World Partners. The Titan Eclipse Fund is among the first hedge fund vehicles to move the ESG mandate forward by accelerating the flow of capital toward high-quality managers who effectively and transparently integrate ESG principles into their investment research process while exhibiting strong values as a firm.
"Hedge Funds have been slower to evolve and embrace responsible investing," says UBC IMANT CEO Dawn Jia. "We invest actively in this space and felt that it would be prudent to partner with a firm that was both strong in hedge fund manager selection and diligence, but also be leaders in sustainability, impact and responsible investing practices. The emphasis placed on diversity, equity and inclusion within the Titan Eclipse Fund is also aligned with our own principles. We fundamentally believe that having a diverse and inclusive team results in better decision making at every level."
UBC IMANT’s ability to anchor the Titan Eclipse Fund, in addition to providing strong risk adjusted returns, is expected to yield benefits in terms of knowledge sharing that will further evolve UBC IMANT’s ESG integration and responsible investing practices across the total portfolio.
