Regular Webcasts from leading responsible investment Fund Managers - detailing thematic insight SRI research, market views and Fund performance

Over the last decade, the market has seen an increasing divergence in valuation between ‘growth’ and ‘value’ areas of the market, and importantly between the US and European equity markets. 

In this short webinar, EdenTree Fund Manager Chris Hiorns will outline how this backdrop provides an opportunity for allocators, to capture record valuation discounts in terms of both a geographic and style basis. Chris will also discuss how his value and contrarian philosophy alongside his bottom-up stock picking process, provides a diversified portfolio of responsible and sustainable companies.

What is the European Value Opportunity?

Join us for a webinar with co-fund managers Charlie Thomas (CIO) and Tom Fitzgerald, who will reflect on a robust first two years for the Green Future Fund and the core solutions that are helping to drive both investment returns and the transition to a more sustainable global economy.

With the FCA publishing its long-awaited Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR) and investment labels policy statement in November, we know important changes are coming. 

Join EdenTree’s Head of Responsible Investing Carlota Esguevillas and Head of Investment Communications Aaron Cox for a short webinar getting into the nuts and bolts of the upcoming SDR regulation. The pair will outline the new labels and discuss what they will mean for investors and how the regulation should help to restore industry confidence. 

They will also cover the basics of what is expected in terms of disclosures and due-diligence, along with the important role for Fund Distributors.

The Nuts and Bolts of SDR

Our natural world is in dire trouble. We are experiencing a dangerous and dramatic decline in the abundance of ‘Life on Earth’ with human activity being the biggest and most notable cause. 

As investors in a range of food and agricultural companies we decided to launch a thematic engagement to learn more about how companies are managing biodiversity risk and to push for elevated action on the subject.

Register for our upcoming webinar with RI Analyst Amelia Gaston to discover our takeaways from the engagement, including our key findings, the areas where we believe investors need to focus their attention, and what’s next for us at EdenTree

Fixed Income is playing an increasingly important role for investors seeking to link financial goals with the desire to address pressing societal needs and environmental concerns.

The COVID-19 pandemic threw into relief perhaps as never before the vulnerability of the UK care sector with higher-than-average excess deaths when compared to wider society.  In this Insight we aim to explore some of the drivers for the sector and how as responsible investors we seek only to invest in the highest quality care provision.

Investing Responsibly in Care

At EdenTree we fully recognise the role we must play in advancing the low-carbon transition. The urgency of climate change is at the heart of our investment process and forms a central part of our screening process and engagement with companies.

Neville White, Head of RI Policy and Research at EdenTree Investment Management takes us through EdenTree's latest Amity Insight: Sustainability.

Sustainability and sustainable investing is becoming an increasingly dominant concept in the UK investment landscape. However, we believe this accelerated appetite brings with it challenges and risks; in particular, the problem of defining what sustainable investing really means and therefore potential for 'greenwash' and product mis-selling as new 'sustainable' products are rushed to market.   

In this webcast we define what sustainable investing means to us at EdenTree.
