Arabesque

Arabesque is a UK-based startup founded in 2013 with the slogan "Sustainable Intelligence." The company focuses on sustainable investment and intelligence by leveraging AI, ESG data, and financial technology.

Their investment strategy, developed in collaboration with professors from the universities of Stanford, Cambridge, Oxford, and the Fraunhofer Society, was initiated at Barclays Bank and later launched independently after a management buyout. Arabesque's first funds were introduced in 2014.

The Arabesque Group aims to promote sustainable finance through its asset management services and platforms, ESG Book and Portfolio Dragon. ESG Book, launched by a global alliance, endeavors to revolutionize finance through sustainability by addressing the need for better ESG data in capital markets.

Arabesque AI is a dedicated technology business that constructs hyper-customized and impact-driven portfolios at scale. The company has also developed an AI-integrated technology platform, Portfolio Dragon, to meet the evolving demands of portfolio managers.

Notably, Arabesque benefits from a board comprising global leaders with extensive experience in corporate responsibility, responsible investment, environmental activism, human rights, and gender inclusion. Among them are Georg Kell, founding Executive Director of the UN Global Compact; Barbara Krumsiek, former President and CEO of Calvert Investments; Dr. Carolyn Woo, former President of Catholic Relief Services; and Yolanda Kakabadse, former President of WWF International.

Arabesque's mission revolves around the belief that sustainability factors significantly influence business performance, and it endeavors to make sustainable finance accessible to all. The company operates within the industries of AI, finance, financial services, fintech, and sustainability.
