Open Forum: Managing Investment Portfolio to Maximise Returns Whilst Investing Responsibly

Registration: 17.00 to 17.30

Programme: 17.30 to 19.00 

Why attend?

Can long term investment performance be optimised not only for financial rewards but also for ESG rewards? Why are financial and ESG rewards aligned for owners with large diversified portfolios?

Speakers from the UNPRI and St Andrew’s University will set the scene and present the results of research into these questions. A major fund manager will talk about how they put principles of responsible ownership into practice, aiming to achieve superior long term performance.

Who should attend?

This event will be of interest to:

• All actuaries interested in maximising long term financial returns on diversified investment portfolios
• Actuaries interested in the impact of climate disruption on insurers and reinsurers
• Members of the Resource and Environment Member Interest Group 
• Sceptics of climate disruption, who believe that risks that might arguably be remote should be addressed if the impact might be globally catastrophic for their grandchildren and their grandchildren’s grandchildren.
