Responsible Investing

Oceana Funds is committed to being a responsible corporate citizen and fostering responsible environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) practices in our own business and encouraging the same in the businesses we partner with.

Individual and institutional investors have grown wise to a global focus on sustainability; they are looking for disclosure of and action on environmental, social and governance (ESG) risk.
