Solaris Investment Management has appointed an environmental, social and governance (ESG) specialist, Lisa Domagala, to its team in response to the call for further ESG awareness from institutional investors.
Domagala will take on to a permanent part-time role as ESG analyst with the Australian equities funds manager, having provided additional support to the company since March 2010.
“Having a person with both the market and ESG experience of Lisa Domagala enhances our capability as a funds manager and responds to the call for ESG awareness from institutional investors with a responsible asset management imperative,” Solaris managing director Denis Donohue said.
Solaris currently manages around $4 billion on behalf of retail and institutional investors. The boutique firm has ten funds management professionals on its investment team.
