ESG
Delivering a modern structure for
responsible leadership at scale.
Successful commercial investing depends on thorough analysis, not
whimsical prediction. RSF believes good fortune in investing is the
product of good thinking. The firm’s goal is to apply disciplined
bottom-up analytical procedures, sophisticated legal and financial
structures, and proactive asset management to transactions that
possess a value-oriented investment thesis.
RSF has been a national leader in the commercial private equity
industry. The firm combines a vast origination platform, a
disciplined investment strategy, and highly experienced
professionals to generate risk-adjusted investment returns that rank
RSF among the top performers within its field.
RSF singular focus is preserving capital while maximizing returns and minimizing risk.
RSF invests in single property transactions, multiple property portfolios, and real
estate-related operating companies. The firm acquires and operates properties for its
own account and actively invests in transactions with joint venture operating partners
and third party borrowers.
All major commercial real estate asset classes located throughout the United States are
eligible for investment consideration including office, warehouse/industrial, retail,

GOVERNANCE STRATEGY
Delivering a modern structure for responsible leadership at scale.
Integrating ESG considerations into our investment process
Our PRI commitments include
incorporating ESG factors into our investment decisions, starting with the due diligence of
potential investments through to the exit process. We tailor ESG due diligence to each
investment, and we create post-investment remediation plans for material ESG considerations.
For all potential investments, we use internal experts and a variety of ESG frameworks to
identify material ESG factors and utilize external consultants where appropriate. This
analysis includes everything from ensuring environmental, legal and regulatory compliance to
the identification of opportunities to add value or mitigate risk in our portfolio. Our
investment teams use an ESG due diligence guideline to ensure consideration of material ESG
risks and opportunities. These teams then provide a detailed memorandum to the Investment
Committee outlining the merits of the transaction and disclosures relating to risks,
including material ESG issues, and potential mitigation strategies. All investments made by
RSF must be approved by the Investment Committee and must incorporate ESG matters into their
evaluation, including anti-bribery and corruption, health and safety, and other ESG
considerations.
Environmental Highlights
The RSF holdings Buyout Funds’ portfolio can be qualified as ‘asset light’ and the most
material environmental indicator for many companies is electricity usage. Several early
movers among the portfolio companies are developing detailed climate strategies by setting
Carbon Neutral targets (e.g. Wehkamp and TietoEvry) or committing to Science-based targets
(e.g. Thoughtworks). There are also several initiatives underway to reduce complexity, waste
and natural resource consumption,, focusing on waste reduction, reuse and recycling in
particular.
Social Highlights
The RSF holdings Funds’ portfolio companies employ almost 1,000+ people (both indirectly)
and with this comes a responsibility to ensure that processes and practices are in place
across the portfolio to support the well being of the workforce. Through collecting multiple
indicators on the employee base and its wellbeing, RSF holdings is able to highlight key
best practices and also areas where more focus is required. One of these topics is the
inclusion and diversity profile of the RSF holdings portfolio companies.
Governance Highlights
RSF holdings believes that good corporate governance is the foundation of effective
corporate management. Virtually all companies have a code of conduct and/or a code of ethics
which guides their business activities. Portfolio companies that are new or which have
historically had less focus on governance are actively encouraged to adopt appropriate codes
and processes within the first year of investment.
