Beyond Heat - Shaping the future with the SDGs

The emergence of SDGs as an asset class for liquid strategies is likely to mark a turning point in institutional and wholesale asset allocation, as it stands a good chance to remove the roadblocks hampering large-scale inflows of private capital into sustainable sectors. With this, SDG focused equity strategies could in no time establish itself as the main vehicle for impact-oriented investing and societal change - provided enough data transparency and objectivity is created. ESG plus SDG: weeding out unintended sustainability side-effects. It is important to stress that impact-oriented asset allocation along SDG criteria cannot and should not supplant ESG approaches altogether. Both are complementary, data-driven selection mechanisms which are best-placed to go hand in hand in order to exclude sustainability risks during stock selection. In this webinar you will learn: - How a smart solution of an ESG compliant SDG fund results in positive financial return and positive contribution. - How consideration of ESG and SDG aspects can support main company target of long-term profit maximization. - Long-term sustainable investment trends with strong growth potential. - Why the Covid-19 crisis has been an enabler for sustainability. Listeners will become aware of how asset allocation towards SDG within the strategic asset allocation makes a meaningful and positive contribution to the biggest challenges globally - like poverty, equality, climate issues, peace and justice - while it at the same time generates returns comparable to the broad market at normal market liquidity.
