Is Cash No Longer King?

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.

Robin Hepworth, CIO and manager of the Higher Income Fund, takes us through his investment philosophy, how he has positioned the fund in terms of asset class, region and sector as well as taking a look at some specific stock examples. Robin will also discuss his long-term track record of income generation, give his investment outlook and tell us why the unloved UK has more to offer than many commentators currently think.

Lydia Greasley, Investment Analyst at EdenTree, takes us through the latest Amity Insight to be published by EdenTree. The Life Code takes a look at the companies and technologies on the cutting edge of medical science, and the ethical issues this raises. How do EdenTree, as a responsible and sustainable investor, respond to these whilst capitalising on the opportunity this growing area affords?

Esmé van Herwijnen, Responsible Investment Analyst at EdenTree Investment Management, takes us through EdenTree's latest piece of Amity Insight research, which explores the issue of waste from the perspective of a responsible and sustainable investor, looking at how our economic model has led to the depletion of resources and an exponential increase in waste production.

Neville White, Head of SRI Policy & Research at EdenTree, talks about our latest Amity Insight: Hungry Planet Revisited.

A sister publication to our previous Amity Insight: Thirsty Planet Revisited, Hungry Planet explores the risks, challenges and opportunities related to the global food supply chain and a rising population. As well as examining these issues, we will look at the investment value chain via five 'investible themes'.

Following the publication of EdenTree's latest Amity Insight, author Esmé Van Herwijnen examines the challenges facing the world's cities and asks what it will take to make the cities of the future sustainable.

As well as looking deeper into these issues, Esmé also discusses the investment value chain that can be found in the sectors which serve as integral to keeping cities moving – these are sectors in which the EdenTree range of Amity Funds are well represented, and we hope that you will be interested to learn more about the companies held in our funds which are at the forefront of developing solutions for the sustainable city.
