On July 9th, 2021, according to the announcement from the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (‘UNPRI’), Huatai Securities (Shanghai) Asset Management Co., Ltd. (‘HTSCAM’or ‘the Company’) has officially signed the agreement to join the UNPRI.
Led by former Secretary-General Kofi Atta Annan in 2006, UNPRI aims to help investors comprehend the significance of environmental, social, and governing factors on the value of investments. Moreover, UNPRI supports its signatories to integrate those factors into their investment processes and strategies. After officially becoming a signatory, HTSCAM has become China's largest asset management subsidiary of an investment bank to join the organization and will be committed to abiding by the Six Principles of the UNPRI, continue to apply the concept of responsible investment, and provide better services for the vast majority of investors.
In recent years, the company has actively practiced a ‘two-pronged’ development strategy of wealth management and institutional services, and its average annualized return on investment has taken a lead in the industry and produced excellent outcomes. By the end of 2020, HTSCAM’s AUM exceeded over RMB600 billion. The Company always highlights the concept of responsible investment and devoted its efforts concerning responsible investment. For example, the introduction of several green ABS projects, most of which are industry-first, involves fields such as hydropower, solid waste treatment, alternative energy, carbon neutrality, and a green economy, etc. Those products aim at matching the characteristics of socially responsible investment and providing enterprises with on-demand, long-term, and stable financial supports.
Over the recent years, we have been diligently focusing on investment opportunities that provide long-term perspectives and benefits. Our main focus is to promote the unification of economic benefits, social benefits, and environmental benefits. HTSCAM is actively involved in exploring new business models to better serve the real economy. On the one hand, the Company bore the critical responsibility to issue the COVID-19-designated ABS, which was used in providing leases for equipment needed in regions that were affected by the pandemic. This issuance provided highly efficient, low-cost financial supports for equipment leases required for controlling the pandemic, while also enabled the industry national leaders such as HTSCAM to put key national strategies such as ‘Made in China 2025’and ‘Serve the Real Economy’ into practice and promoted the long-term development of high-tech equipment manufacturing industry in China. On the other hand, the Company actively seeks opportunities in alternative energy solutions. To maximize the effectiveness of securitization, which leverages the underlying assets, the Company supported raising over RMB10 billion in funding for an enterprise whose core business is wind power generation. This industry-leading example has provided new strategic pin-points for alternative energy providers with funding requirements.
HTSCAM is one of the first domestic players in the industry to join the UNPRI. Under the Six Principles of the Responsible Investments, we will build the ESG Investment Committee, draft the ESG Investment Research Framework, carry out the integration of ESG factors with investment processes, as well as develop ESG-related products. We hope to apply a holistic approach to manage investment risk, explore investment opportunities that have long-term positive effects on the environment and society, and improve long-term returns for the investors.
The concept of green growth has become a global consensus, and targets such as ‘Peak Carbon-Dioxide Emission’ and ‘Carbon Neutrality’ have become key national strategies. HTSCAM will aim to become a reputable enterprise that benefits social and economic development. Under the big picture of China’s transition toward a low-greenhouse-gas-emission social, energy, and economic structure, the Company will also practice responsible investing by strengthening its expertise in and understanding of green operations, which eventually becomes a driving force that leads to long-term prosperity. Looking ahead, HTSCAM will continue to actively engage in responsible investing through the two-way driver of investing and financing. Our approaches include innovating in and providing a diversified list of ESG products, linking and fueling the Green Finance, and empowering the responsible investing ecosystem. Our mission: To bring vitality into social, economic, and environmental benefits by shouldering more responsibilities, and providing services that possess professionalism, efficiency, and high quality.
