As the economic impact of COVID-19 unfolds we have seen the oil price move into negative territory for the first time ever. Whilst there has been some recovery in the price and since oil is still a long way off its 2019 levels, the question remains; are we seeing a sooner-than-expected plateau in global consumption? If this proves to be the case, what are the lasting long term impacts on global investment markets, the energy sector and the transition to renewables?
Mark Lewis, Global Head of Sustainability Research at BNP Paribas Asset Management will discuss these questions as well as addressing:
• Cashflow catastrophe - can the US shale industry recover?
• What behavioural pressures may we see if oil demand continues to fall?
• What is the macro context for oil and other fossil fuels in relation to climate change?
• Will COVID-19 impact on the energy transition to Electric vehicles?

Investing today is moving beyond strictly modelling future cash-flows and earnings, to a paradigm where one must strive to understand and consider environmental, social and governance factors (ESG) as part of their investment rationale. Our consideration of ESG is driven by client preferences, as well as by our changing world. This can be a complicated matter for small cap investors and, because the evolution of the topic of ESG has been swift, smaller companies can have fewer resources available to deal with its ramifications.
During this webcast, our US Equities team will discuss the four key elements of our approach to ESG integration: screening criteria, risk assessment, opportunity identification, and engagement. We will also discuss the challenges in applying ESG to the small cap universe, including lack of disclosure on the part of companies, less availability of third party data and research, and how we manage those challenges.
