Climate change is undeniably one of the most pressing global issues of our time, and it has become a key consideration in financial and investment markets. In this webinar, we explore the global Climate funds landscape, and look at regional differences. We will also discuss the spectrum of Climate strategies and their role in portfolios, from reducing climate-related risks to investing in climate-related opportunities. 

We will look to answer questions such as: 

•          What do capital flows into Climate funds look like in 2023 so far?  

•          How do Climate funds stack up against various climate metrics and what’s inside these funds? 

•          What role do Climate funds play in Investor portfolios? 

•          How can investment professionals use Morningstar Data and Reporting Solutions to bring their Climate strategies to life?

Investing in Times of Climate Change

It’s been a volatile year for investors, but strangely enough European markets are at roughly at the same level as the start of the year. Inflation is falling, but interest rates remain stubbornly high, and consumers are becoming more cash-strapped by the day. The big question now is whether the European economy can avoid a fully-fledged recession and whether declining consumer demand will be the catalyst for this. 

Join us as we attempt to navigate through the potential pitfalls to come in the next quarter, while highlighting areas of the market where we actually see opportunities opening up!

• We will look at major price movements across the EMEA coverage universe and opportunities this has created.
• Relative valuation of the European market versus other regions.
• How sector valuations have shifted over the last quarter, and where we see value.
• The Consumer Sector and what we are seeing on the ground.

Equity markets have grinded upward over the last quarter, as investors put the banking crisis firmly in their rear-view mirrors. Although there has been no further drama in the banking sector since the March takeover of troubled Credit Suisse, the macroeconomic environment in Europe remains challenging. High inflation rates are becoming persistent, interest rates continue to rise, and consumers are becoming cash strapped. Despite this, and an equity market that is now almost fairly valued, we find pockets of opportunity across the region.
 
Join us as we also discuss our newly released report on the health of the UK housing market and the opportunities in the homebuilding sector.

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.
