How global events are affecting impact and sustainable investments

A video recording of the 60 minute presentation M&G climate fund manager Randeep Somel, CFA and I gave earlier this week is now available on the M&G Wealth Platform (previously Ascentric).

My main task was to introduce the impact investment fund spectrum – the similarities and differences between funds that focus on generating positive impacts as a key element of their sustainability, environmental and/or social investment fund strategy.

Randeep’s was to focus on world events and their implications for investors in this space … our topics included energy, Ukraine, climate change & a Texan biomass company example that took me completely by surprise (thanks to a delegate for asking!)

You can access the recording here: How global events are affecting the impact and sustainable investment market. (no longer available on M&G Wealth platform)

You can check out different impact options and strategies via the ‘Aims and Approaches’ button on the Fund EcoMarket database.

To put it mildly – strategies vary and need to be understood before they are recommended to clients… but what a fascinating and wonderful area!

This was the 4th of 5 ESG Masterclasses M&G Wealth (x Ascentric) and I have been running for IFAs and financial planners who are new to the area.

They will be posting details of our final event online shortly.
