- PCG Asset Management (PCG AM), a leading private equity consultant, announced today that the firm has become a signatory for the UN Principals for Responsible Investment (UN PRI).

The UN Principals for Responsible Investment provide a framework by which institutional investors can evaluate their portfolios to ensure that all risks are appropriately assessed, including those related to environmental,

social and governance issues (ESG). UN PRI signatories comprise asset owners, investment managers and professional services partners and represent more than $15 trillion in assets under management.

PCG AM Managing Director Michelle Davidson will also represent the firm on the recently formed PRI Private Equity Work Stream Steering Committee (PEWS-SC) which expands the efforts by signatories to better understand how to implement the PRI across different asset classes.

"Our commitment speaks to a growing trend within the investment community and we believe the incorporation of socially responsible investment practices will generate consistently higher returns over the long-term," said Michelle Davidson. "As both an experienced private equity investor and as an advisor to many of the world's largest public pension funds that are PRI signatories, PCG AM is uniquely positioned to help shape the application of these principles within the private equity industry."
