About this talk

There has been an intense debate over the last couple of months on the effectiveness of “Shorting” to achieve certain outcomes in Sustainable Investing - especially in Climate related strategies. The discus sion culminated in a series of research papers, a couple of “Letters” in the Financial Times and even tweets on Twitter between MAN Group, AQR, CFM and MSCI. This webinar is about: …the importance of defining the objectives in Sustainable Investing • as Mauboussin´s “Everything is a DCF model” is valid in ESG as well …the potential drivers of return and risk • in ESG and Low Carbon investments …utilizing and combining multiple data sources and state of the art risk models • to build ESG and Low Carbon strategies with low levels of ”unintended risks” …perspectives on the question if “Shorting raises the cost of capital” • and if there´s more economic impact than simple valuation expansion
