Big Call: ESG Investors Forum 2021

Leonardo Royal London St Paul's

17 Nov 2021

08:00 – 17:30

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) is going through a breakthrough moment, with the EU Action Plan on Sustainable Finance and Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) adding force to the growing tide of green investor sentiment.

Ready to service this demand, European issuers have launched record numbers of core and thematic ESG ETFs so far in 2021. Investors themselves have also not disappointed, pouring €53.4bn assets into the product class during the first eight months of the year – almost half of all inflows – according to data from Bloomberg Intelligence.

This explosive growth has also raised a number of challenges, however, with IOSCO highlighting a lack of standardisation in ESG ratings and data collection, while InfluenceMap found 71% of ESG funds ranked negatively for Paris-alignment.

This event has already taken place. A massive thank you to our sponsors: Fidelity International, First Trust, Invesco, BNP Paribas, HSBC Asset Management, UBS and DWS Xtrackers for helping to make the event such a success. See you in 2022!
