Responsible investments
LV's goal is to maximise the long-term returns of the fund's portfolios, taking into account risk, in the interests of fund members.
LV believes that investing in financial instruments issued by companies, public entities and other issuers that base their operations on a sustainable basis is the best way to support responsible long-term returns. LV therefore places an emphasis on ensuring that the fund's portfolios consist of financial instruments of issuers that maintain sound governance and are based on business models that promote sustainable value creation.
