Research Steps: Determination of Sustainability Fair Value

Overview | Macro Trends and Industry Challenges | SAM Corporate Sustainability Analysis™ | Determination of Sustainability Fair Value

Construction of actively managed portfolio and mandates puts a distinct emphasis on the relative-valuation approach. Active investments in Sustainability Leaders are guided by the difference between the fair value of a company's securities and the current market price. The main tool in this process is the SAM Sustainability DCF-Model™. This Free Cash Flow to the Firm-model determines the fair value of a company's stock under consideration of Sustainability trends, macroeconomic trends and developments, the company's economic and financial position, and the company's Sustainability profile. Impacts of sustainability on the fair value of a company's security are quantified and included in the determination of their fair value. SAM Sustainable Asset Management's investment process thus incorporates sustainability in both the evaluation of a company and the determination of fair value of its securities.
