What is (or should be!) keeping responsible fixed income investors awake at night

Wed 05 Jul 2023 -
10:00 - 11:00

This session will explore:

The impact of geopolitical and inflationary turmoil on climate investments
How climate change governance needs to be extended to government bond analysis to reach investors net-zero ambitions – how should this be approached, and can investors truly make change? What is ASCOR?
Will EIOPA’s stress tests revolutionise investors’ approach to corporate bonds?

We will share research and practitioner’s insights on these themes, which are shaping the future of climate transition investing across the government and corporate bond spectrum for pension funds and insurance companies.
