Responsible investing.

Park Square believes investing in well-run, stable and predictable businesses reduces risk and ultimately drives outperformance over the long-term.
ESG analysis is not simply an add-on to our financial and legal investment processes – it is an integral component. From business selection through to exit, consideration of ESG risks is a key feature in our credit analysis and portfolio monitoring.
