Understanding ESG:
virtual training seminar
Flows into ESG funds have grown exponentially in the past five years. Data from Morningstar shows in flows of €120 billion into sustainable investment options in Europe by December 2019. In the UK, the data for April 2020 alone showed a net total of £969 million poured into socially responsible strategies.[1]
ESG factors are now a key consideration for financial intermediaries and clients alike. To help planning conversations we have designed an educational programme to assist with the integration of ESG into the suitability processes.
