BNN Bloomberg: None of the world’s largest asset managers has definitively called on fossil-fuel companies to stop the development of new oil and gas projects.
Advisor's Edge: The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is adopting final rules that will set board diversity targets for public companies in the United Kingdom.
Private Equity Wire: Venture capital fundraising in the US reached an all-time high of USD330 billion in 2021. But through one lens, things look very much the same as they did 10 years ago. The capital is still not finding its way into female-led start-ups.
