Institutional Investor: With demand at a record high — and an equal number of competitors bidding for the business — asset managers need to launch more specialist products if they hope to attract a critical mass of investors.
City A.M.: No City earnings call, annual report, or even chief executive interview is now complete without a mention of what a firm is doing to meet its ‘ESG goals.’ At times this has bordered on the ludicrous: Terry Smith, the legendary investor, found a warm audience to his critique of Unilever attempting to define the purpose of Hellmann’s mayonnaise.
CNBC: Over the last five years, good ESG stocks have seen a huge jump in cash inflows and higher valuations, resulting in a short-term green premium, or “greenium,” for the asset, Buckingham Strategic Wealth’s chief research officer, Larry Swedroe, told CNBC’s “ETF Edge”.
BNN Bloomberg: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has exacerbated already historic demands on the resources that enable global growth, Jeremy Grantham, co-founder of Boston-based asset manager GMO, wrote in a new commentary.
Investment Executive: Royal Bank of Canada’s chief executive officer says an “orderly transition” to a net-zero economy is crucial, as he faced questions and criticism about the bank’s climate strategy and ongoing financing of fossil fuels during its annual shareholder meeting.

BNN Bloomberg: Globally, 49.6% of ESG hires were women in 2020 and 2021, according to a study issued Wednesday by HFObserver, an online data platform that tracks employment in the alternative asset management industry. By contrast, women made up only about 29% of overall hires in the sector.
