mallowstreet University Breakfast Workshop - Multi-Asset: The conundrum of competing objectives

At First State Investments we believe Responsible Investment, which incorporates environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, constitute sources of long term risk and return. Through incorporating these considerations into our investment practises, we seek to enhance the quality of our investment process and our understanding of risk and return.

Over the last decade the investment industry has improved, and refined, the integration of environmental, social and governance criteria into investment decisions, with a particular focus on equities, and more recently corporate bonds. Meanwhile, despite being the largest single product category, multi-asset investing still remains an area of discussion and potential improvement. We will discuss the challenges and potential remedies to Responsible Investment within a top-down multi-asset investment approach utilising both direct ownership and indirect (derivatives) investments.

This breakfast is available exclusively for pension fund decision makers and their advisors and is eligible for CPD accreditation.
