September 18, 2017 Singapore-based private equity real estate fund manager, SilkRoad Property Partners, is pleased to announce that it has become a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment. By signing the PRI, SilkRoad is affirming that it will actively incorporate ESG issues into its investment analysis and decision making. SilkRoad was among the first Asian fund managers to adopt the CFA Institute Asset Manager Code of Professional Conduct and is a member of the Hong Kong Green Building Council as well as a signatory of Tripartite Alliance for Fair & Progressive Practices.

“Becoming a UN PRI signatory was the right thing to do. Both our clients and employees strongly believe that as a fiduciary, SilkRoad has to take into account ESG issues in both its investments and operations,” said Peter Wittendorp, CEO of SilkRoad Property Partners.
