Details:

At this Seminar we focused on providing practical insights and reviewed recent developments in the area of responsible investing and sustainable investment including Impact Investing. What principles should pension funds adopt in this area? What is happening in Europe and the rest of the world? We looked at how some leading pension funds are approaching Responsible Investing and whether this really can provide better risk adjusted returns? Should return maximisation be the overriding fiduciary duty for pension fund boards when considering a Responsible Investing Policy? Are there still significant barriers, perceived or real, for Responsible Investing today? What framework should pension funds adopt when considering a Responsible Investing approach for their entire portfolio?
