Key Topics:
Over the last few years, Asset Managers and Equity Research Analysts have been under growing pressure from clients to integrate ESG into their investment process. This, combined with increasing regulations and the general recognition that ESG factors can affect risk and returns, has led more asset managers to include ESG considerations into their fundamental research and investment approach. However, integrating ESG into equity research has become a real challenge, forcing analysts to:
- Learn ESG vocabulary and know about the relevant regulations;
- Make sense of ESG research;
- Identify relevant ESG issues, assess their materiality and quantify their impact on financial forecasts and valuation;
- Assess the risks, especially around bad ESG press on the companies in their coverage;
- Cater the analysis to specific sectors.
In this webinar, Denny Ellison CEO, Eveline Varin, was joined by TDi Sustainability CEO, Assheton Carter, to discuss the key hurdles that Equity Research Analysts are facing, and present solutions to fill the skills gaps.
