TALK: The Future of ESG
We’ve hosted our TALK events consecutively for over a year and they have now become a regular feature in many people’s diaries.
Each one is an hour long and will feature industry-leading speakers sharing expert content on a specific theme within their field. During the session, delegates are split off into working groups to discuss and share best practice – bringing back that much-desired networking.

What are we talking about?
Demand for ESG and sustainable investing has been growing rapidly. In this presentation, we will examine the reasons for the growth, the different approaches to ESG, why this type of investment needs to be part of suitability and how it can enhance investment performance. We will highlight the steps required to incorporate ESG as part of a Central Investment Proposition. This includes the current and expected regulatory considerations, the limitations of ESG risk profilers and how to evidence that individual ESG client preferences have been acted upon.
We will conclude with how Liontrust can help you to integrate sustainable investment into your client portfolios whatever their level of interest in and demand for ESG.
As with all of our TALK events, this session will be interactive and you’ll have the opportunity to ask any burning questions you may have, as well as the chance to learn from your peers.
