Osmosis Investment Management

Osmosis believes that to gain mainstream adoption, sustainable investment should not come at the cost of financial returns and that environmental metrics, if quantifiable and objective in nature, can be applied in a systematic fashion to mainstream portfolios to generate alpha. Our range of quantitative equity strategies target better risk-adjusted returns while delivering substantial sustainability outcomes. Osmosis is head quartered in London with a physical presence established in North America in 2019. Our team of 31 investment professionals are at the forefront of integrating environmental data into portfolio construction. We are singularly focused on identifying, through the collection, standardisation and normalisation of corporate environmental data, those companies who are able to create more value while using less energy, water and waste than their same sector peers. Our proprietary research, in conjunction with independent academic research, concludes that resource efficient companies, have the potential to deliver greater shareholder value while delivering reduced environmental footprints when compared to their respective benchmarks. Our model MoRE (Model of Resource Efficiency) identifies sustainable action over management intent and we allocate capital accordingly. Among its investors, Osmosis counts academic endowments, charitable foundations, government and company pension funds, insurance companies and family offices.
