IPE: Climate finance think tank 2° Investing Initiative is encouraging investors and banks to support efforts to build evidence of financial institutions’ impact with regard to climate change.
IPE: Steve Waygood, chief responsible investment officer at Aviva Investors, has called for the creation of an international panel on climate finance at the upcoming United Nations climate change summit (COP26) to improve negotiators’ understanding of the capital markets and the real economy.
Pensions & Investments: Support for ESG-related shareholder resolutions has climbed steadily in recent years among asset managers, but several of the biggest managers vote against ESG resolutions more often than not.
Bloomberg: Harris Associates, the $120 billion money manager, formally joined in the responsible investing trend a year ago, pledging to press companies to disclose how climate change and social issues affect their bottom line.
Top 1000: Internationally only a handful of pension funds have committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and have developed an approach to achieving that goal.
Institutional Investor: Senior investment professionals at hedge funds and long-only firms earned an average of $825,000 last year — at least, the men did. Female portfolio managers and senior analysts made $630,000 on average, including base pay and bonus compensation.
IPE: There is lots of debate about what constitutes a green financial service or product, and what more generally greenness amounts to. Most parties to that debate have assumed that holding green investments is sufficient to be green.
Bloomberg: The number of venture capital firms with two or more female partners doubled last year to 14%, suggesting a cultural change is under way in one of finance’s most intractable all-boys’ clubs.
Financial Post: Methane leaks are making the climate crisis worse faster, but companies and investors still find them hard to trace.
Bloomberg : Hedge funds, many of which have been slow to adopt environmental and social strategies, are pointing the finger elsewhere. Money managers are faulting inconsistent data and a shortage of expertise.
