Net zero and the implications for investment portfolios

Net Zero and the implications for investment portfolios

The Net Zero Portfolio Alignment Working Group was established by the IFoA’s Sustainability Board to create material to help actuaries understand this key area as well as to help them navigate the various initiatives and frameworks.

Objectives:

This working party aims to raise awareness of Net Zero investing by producing a report aimed at actuaries who are keen to learn more about how investing can help address climate change. We appreciate that actuaries who are new to the subject may be put off learning more due to the daunting number of acronyms and complex jargon of the world of Net Zero investing. We aim to address this by introducing key concepts, organisations and frameworks at a high level.

Outputs:

• Report - Net Zero Investing - A Beginner’s Guide
• Webinar on 7 Dec 2022
• Presentation to Sustainability Board
