CULTURE & VALUES
OVERVIEW
FOREWORD At RPIA, we are committed to working closely with our investors to leverage our expertise in pursuit of their investment goals. We take pride in our ongoing partnerships with clients to develop sustainable investment solutions that align with their objectives. As global fixed-income experts and stewards of our investors’ capital, we recognize that Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors play a critical role in shaping the risk and return profile of corporate fixed income securities.
David Matheson Principal, Co-Chief Investment Officer
This report highlights how we embed ESG considerations across key areas, including our investment process, corporate sustainability practices, and firm initiatives.
As ESG frameworks continue to evolve within the investment industry, we remain dedicated to integrating sustainability considerations into our investment process through our investment expertise and the proprietary tools we have developed to aid our ESG assessments. In 2025, we enhanced our proprietary Risk Portal through the integration of exclusion levers for each ESG- focused strategy, allowing all our systems to be more synchronous and seamless while making it easier for Portfolio Managers to work with strategy-level exclusions. We continue to engage with industry organizations to collaborate on the evolution of sustainability practices within asset management and financial services. In 2025, we became a member of the Responsible Investment Association, furthering our commitment to help grow and support responsible investing in Canada and around the world. We also took on a leadership role at Climate Engagement Canada, serving as Co-Lead, actively guiding engagement priorities and collaborating with peers to align Canada’s financial system with a low-carbon future.
Peter Metcalfe Principal, Co-Chief Investment Officer
We are proud of our progress, and eager for the future. If you would like to discuss our approach to sustainability within the firm and our investment process, please feel free to contact us at investors@rpia.ca.
Sincerely, David Matheson & Peter Metcalfe
