1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The 2015 Extel/UKSIF SRI & Sustainability Survey marks the thirteenth consecutive edition of this study, from commencement in 2003. We will pay allegiance to superstition by hoping that 13 is not an unlucky number. We can do more than that, by sheltering under the impenetrable arch of the market s appetite to recognize and identify excellence. The depth and quality of response, with over 340 buyside participants, from asset managers internationally, including virtually all major buyside firms, remains a powerful indicator of the continuing interest in sustainability, as a material factor in the investment decision process, and in the value attached to a stock. It is the first report generated with Extel as part of WeConvene, and we believe the WeConvene platform - offering as it does significant efficiencies in targeting and conducting meetings and interaction across all three sides of the community - can play an especial role in widening the reach of sustainability analysis, ideas & insights. This is truly pertinent given both the regulatory changes, those already in place and what will come in MiFiD2, and the increasing appetite on the buyside for differentiated and thematic ideas. This report covers primarily the views, and votes, of the buyside for research and advisory from brokerage firms and analysts on SRI, ESG, renewables and associated areas; it also include data and rankings on both the buyside themselves, and the corporate community, reflecting the three sides of the investment community. The core challenge for SRI & sustainability, whether approaching it as an institutional investor; as a research provider, either mainstream or specialist; or from the perspective of a corporate, is not about the importance of the topics, insights and issues that make SRI & sustainability. The potential impacts and effects of environmental change, of transparency and fair governance, of a positive and enlightened attitude to employees, suppliers and customers, are well documented and hard to deny. It is instead that these issues, these impacts, are by their very essence, long term and tough to ascribe directly. So we end up with a paradox, and one that the investment community itself has to resolve, in order for sustainability to be an essential, everyday part of the investment and valuation process. On one hand, it all really matters in the long run. On the other hand, as Maynard Keynes said, in the long run we are all dead, and does SRI, ESG, whatever it is called, matter now? The average lifespan as it were of a CEO, is less than five years in post; even the most far-sighted asset manager is not going to buy and hold a stock for ten or fifteen years, and blithely ignore fluctuations in valuation during that time; and no sellside analyst is going to earn commissions and payments for research insights that may take a decade or more to come to fruition. In short, where is the materiality? EXTEL - SRI 2015 3
A question with no easy answer. But not with no answer at all. The solution must lie in the investment industry on all three sides evolving a mindset that places those longer term factors as important now in stock valuations, and market assessments. Of course, governments and public pressure must form part of this, and it is no coincidence that the strength of the French financial community in SRI & ESG (admittedly perhaps with more focus in the S than the E or the G ), is at least part explained by regulations that bring a more direct materiality to the table. It is our belief that, even if unintentionally, the upcoming changes governing research & advisory payments that will come into force with MiFiDII in January 2017, will aid this further. However funded (and at the time of publication, this remains an open question), asset managers will become - indeed, already are - more selective on the services they take, from whom, and on what stocks and sectors. The imperative for the active equity buyside to demonstrate differentials, fresh thinking and compelling ideas, has never been greater, and under MiFiDII, this can only increase. Sustainabilty, espoused by companies and sellside alike, and by the buyside in appealing to their own clients, should and can be a vital part of that differentiation. has passed it now can be the case that SRI/ESG factors can play a material part, and in such cases, the appetite for understanding, communication and engagement has never been more apparent. Extel would like to formally recognize and thank UKSIF for all their ongoing help, support and encouragement in the SRI & Sustainability survey. UKSIF has been truly instrumental in the embracing of SRI by the investment community over the last 20 years and more, and we are proud to be able to work with UKSIF. Finally, of course, can we formally thank all participants in the 2015 Extel SRI study their contribution is greatly appreciated, and quite obviously the essential component in delivering this report. Steve Kelly Managing Director Extel July 2015 Along with the summary rankings in this report, we are grateful as before that we can include additional exclusive data from Nasdaq on the direction and extent of SRI/ESG-related fund flows; and a sample of some of the key attributes of service that the buyside value the most. Together, they serve to emphasize again a picture where the debate over niche/mainstream EXTEL - SRI 2015 4
2. MARKET TRENDS We capture a range of views from across asset managers on the important elements of SRI/ESG; both as provided by the sellside or other research providers; and their views on the corporate community. The tables show the findings for the last three years overall, and with comparative breakouts for the North American buyside and the hedge fund community. All this data comes from the Extel Market Trends online service, offering an extensive range of customization and functionality. ALL BUYSIDE What do you value in sustainability analysis?

4. METHODOLOGY The Extel/UKSIF SRI & Sustainability Survey 2015 took place between March 23 and May 18, 2015 Responses were sought from buyside firms across Europe, involved in the SRI and broader extra-financial market. In total we received responses from 343 individuals at 174 buyside firms. In the questionnaire, respondents were either asked to rate firms/individuals 1-5; or score attributes/concerns on a 1-5 scale. Following Fund Management firms took part in the Survey. In both cases 5 equated to 5 points, down to a rating of 1 equalling 1 point. When voting for firms, voters could score a maximum of two firms with the same rating, and give the same rating value to up to a maximum of four individual team members at any broker firm. All points received were then aggregated, and % based tables constructed. In the case of rating on attributes, using a 1-5 comparative scale, an average rating (mathematically obliged to be between 1-5) was calculated. This enables comparative benchmarks to be provided. Across the SRI survey, we also received participation from professionals on the sellside and from IR teams at corporates. As this is now the 13th annual Survey the comparative and trend data delivers considerable value and interest. In particular we continue to receive a number of thoughtful comments on how to construct and develop this Survey going forward to enable it to even better match and align with market practice, and address key issues. We have sought to respond to these in 2015, and will continue to do so for 2016. EXTEL - SRI 2015 15
