After the downfall of Silicon Valley bank and the near collapse and rescuing of Credit Suisse, market volatility has spiked and investor confidence is shaken.  

In the wake of such market uncertainty, it is more important than ever to take a fresh look at the European market, discerning how various sectors look from a valuation perspective, and how they are likely to perform in a potentially high interest rate, high inflation, environment.  How do you adjust and monitor your portfolio to align to market volatility? Join us as we talk through our views on the banking sector and why we believe it to be solid, despite investor concerns.   

We will explore how you can apply your own exclusions and criteria to build a better portfolio or monitor vehicles on your current buy list.                                                                

This webinar will cover: 
- How markets look post banking crisis, and the risks moving forward 
- Relative valuation of the European market versus other regions 
- How to screen for exposure to various securities and sectors

Enhance your investment selection following the banking crisis

2023 started off well. Falling inflation gave investors renewed hope that we might soon see peak interest rates. Recent shocks, in the form of the collapse of SVB, and the near collapse of Credit Suisse have shaken investor confidence, leading us into a very uncertain second quarter.
 
In the wake of such uncertainty, we will be taking a fresh look at the banking sector. We will explain what exactly went wrong at Credit Suisse, talk through the likelihood of contagion to the rest of the banking sector, and indeed the broader equity market.

Exploring the Data Value Chain

Le plan d'action de l'UE pour la finance durable et ses composantes continuent d'influencer le paysage européen de l'investissement durable, car de nouvelles réglementations entrent en vigueur cette année. Indiscutablement, l’ESG est au coeur de toute décision du processus d’investissement que ce soit pour les gérants de portefeuille, l’ingénierie financière ou la gestion sous mandat.  

Afin d’accompagner les professionnels, Morningstar suit au plus près les évolutions du plan d’action de l’UE dont différents volets réglementaires ont commencé à prendre effet.

Lors de ce webinaire, nous vous présentons comment Morningstar peut vous aider dans la sélection de fonds ESG, à naviguer à travers les données relatives aux Principales Incidences Négatives (PAI), à l’alignement aux Objectifs de Développement Durable ou à l’impact, ainsi que dans la création de reportings personnalisés pour vos fonds et vos portefeuilles modèle

Sujets abordés :
• Le plan d’action de l’UE pour la finance durable : où en sommes-nous ?

EU Action Plan : répondre aux besoins de reporting et de sélection de fonds ESG

With only a few months left in the year, its almost safe to say that 2022 hasn’t been kind to investors. Inflation is still rising across the Eurozone, and further interest rate increases look likely. Equity market valuations however, which looked cheap last quarter, are looking even more attractive now. With so much negativity already priced into equity markets we see a huge opportunity for investors to bite the bullet now, and reap the rewards later.

From a thematic perspective we will be focusing on the alternative energy space, and specifically the opportunity in wind energy, as European governments are starting to spend big in order to reduce their reliance on oil and gas from Russia.

Amendments to MiFID II mean that sustainability preferences must be included in the advice process, presenting a new set of challenges for professionals and bringing a huge influx of additional data to the market. To support the industry as it responds to these changes, as well as the sustainability reporting obligations under the EU Action Plan, a new industry template has been developed called the European ESG Template, or EET.  

Join Morningstar Sustainalytics for our upcoming webinar to learn more about:   
- The EET and how it's supporting the EU regulatory requirements, such as MiFID II and the EU Action Plan
- The coverage and values of key EET datapoints, including Principal Adverse Impact consideration, sustainable investment exposure, taxonomy alignment, and the different approaches asset managers are taking to calculate each. 
- How to overcome key challenges financial market participants face in finding suitable products, including managing patchy data and a lack of comparability between products.

SESSION 3: Sustainable Investing Approaches – Applying Exclusions (September7)  

The world of sustainable investing is advancing and its simplest form—applying exclusions—continues to play an important role. Exclusionary strategies are among the most popular ESG approaches because they support both managing risk and catering to investor values.  

But, how much effort is needed to find relevant investments? How important is investment monitoring for performing proper due diligence when it comes to applying exclusions or any of the other sustainable investing approaches?  

Join us to find out! 

 
We’ll discuss: 
• How exclusion has evolved as sustainable investing gained prominence 
• How asset managers use exclusions today  
• Data available to meet exclusionary objectives 
• How to assess intentionality vs reality and the capabilities that seek true exclusions 
• The nuances that exist within these strategies 


Speakers:  
• Lindsey Stewart, Director of Investment Stewardship Research
• Julie Petitjean-Freytet, Direct ESG Product Manager
