Our Commitment to ESG

Longhouse is committed to integrating ESG principles into the Firm's operating philosophy and as a risk factor in the ICS Fund's investment decision making process.

As a majority Indigenous-owned alternative asset manager, Longhouse believes that ESG principals reflect longstanding Indigenous teachings that are core to our mission. Indeed, we believe ESG principles are akin to Indigenous teachings, thus, we refer to ESG as ESG=I (i.e., ESG = Indigenous teachings).

Our Firm is founded on the pillars of, and guided by, the Seven Sacred Teachings (i.e., Respect, Truth, Humility, Honesty, Courage, Wisdom and Love) and, as stewards of capital, we recognize how material ESG=I considerations impact the performance of our team and the long-term success of our Firm and investments.

By integrating ESG=I principals into the Firm’s operating philosophy and as a risk factor in our investment decision making process, we believe Longhouse will be best positioned to accomplish its mission of generating attractive risk-adjusted returns for our investors and making a lasting positive impact on Indigenous communities for generations.
