The critical importance of financial professionals getting, and staying, up to speed on developments in environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing was highlighted in a recent series of webinars for FINSIA by asset manager Dimensional Fund Advisors.
In three presentations covering research, implementation and communication, Dimensional’s experts set out a systematic approach to helping investors take account of their personal values around sustainability and a range of social issues, all within a sound investment framework.
The growing appetite for sustainable investments is now unequivocal, as is the increasing scrutiny being applied by regulators on both company disclosures around climate risk and the claims by asset managers to take account of ESG issues.
