The economic devastation wreaked by the pandemic has pushed us into a new phase of ultra-low rates, what we have called the era of the zero. To prevent economic disaster, interest rates and bond yields seem set to remain near or below zero for longer than many of us could ever have imagined. 

But what does it mean for investors looking for higher returns and safe havens in an uncertain world? 

Join our regular host, Lesley-Ann Morgan, Head of Multi-Asset Strategy, as she talks to Chief Economist Keith Wade, Fund Manager Remi Olu-Pitan, Head of Securitized Credit Michelle Russell-Dowe and Head of Fixed Income Andrew Chorlton.

With a pension scheme’s Statement of Investment Principles (SIP) now containing trustees’ policies on financially material considerations (including environmental, social and governance matters), the stewardship of investments and the extent to which members’ views are considered, attention is now on October 2020 when trustees must produce an implementation report explaining how they have followed and acted on the investment policies outlined in their SIP.
 
Jessica Ground, Global Head of Stewardship and Lesley-Ann Morgan, Head of Multi-Asset Strategy, will discuss the upcoming need for trustees to report to scheme members on the progress they have made in integrating sustainability into their scheme’s default investment strategy. They will also examine the level of reporting available and how investment strategies have adapted to integrate ESG as part of the day-to-day investment decision making process, to help trustees meet this new requirement.
