About us
Analyzing our financial portfolio platform
Antares is committed to Responsible Investment and integrates this approach as a framework for effective risk management. Engagement with our employees and our stakeholders helps drive our Responsible Investment efforts.
As one element of our investment process for our Private Credit business, we apply the SASB Standards1 (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board) as a framework to review investments and weigh the risk. This means looking closely at each investment with a lens on environment, social and human capital, business model and innovation, and leadership and governance.
We also complete a Responsible Investment assessment as part of the broader investment process for our Liquid Credit business.
Antares is a Principles for Responsible Investment (“PRI”) signatory. We believe a strong Responsible Investment proposition correlates with thorough risk assessment and leverages insights across the portfolio.
Responsible Investment within Antares is characterized by an understanding of our investor needs and collaboration with other stakeholders within the asset management community. We factor in the needs of our private equity sponsors and what is most relevant for our borrowers. The breadth and scale of our portfolio of private equity-backed companies provide a unique perspective and engagement opportunities.
At Antares, Responsible Investment is grounded in our fiduciary duty to our investors, together with our mission to create lasting value for all our partners. We do that by fostering enduring and trusted relationships, viewing every transaction as a long-term investment, and taking principal risk alongside our investors on every deal.
Our approach is directly tied to what we view as our competitive advantages—scale, investment experience, and alignment.
The role we play within the broader financial ecosystem also is an essential aspect of our approach to Responsible Investment. That starts with our employees, who are dedicated to driving positive outcomes for our partners, including in our local communities, where we believe it is essential to unlock opportunities for all.
Our mission is only realized when we combine our fiduciary responsibility with an investment focus that takes a long-term view. This is what we’ve done for nearly 30 years and what we’ll continue to do for the next 30 and beyond.
