ESG Capital Allocation Strategy

The strategy is distinguished by its ability to dynamically shift emphasis between equity and debt securities, depending on relative value across market cycles. This flexibility provides an adaptive allocation that aligns with Dhanam’s principle of stewarding capital across environments rather than relying on a static mix. By maintaining a diversified book of both equity and credit, the fund seeks to mitigate drawdowns while retaining upside participation.

 

A defining feature of this investment lies in its integration of environmental, social, and governance criteria. At least eighty percent of invested assets are assessed through ESG factors, ensuring that capital is directed toward enterprises operating with forward-looking governance, environmental sustainability, and social responsibility. This alignment with structural sustainability trends reinforces Dhanam’s conviction that responsible ownership is inseparable from durable long-term value creation.

 

The strategy also employs a systematic option-writing program, generating incremental income from option premiums. Beyond the contribution to yield, this derivative overlay enhances risk-adjusted returns by cushioning downside volatility while monetizing periods of market strength. Within Dhanam’s closed-end fund architecture, this approach adds an additional layer of stability and income generation without compromising exposure to long-term growth themes.
