Citywire: Fires in the Amazon came to the fore last week and continue to generate attention after the Brazilian government rejected the G7's offer of $22 million aid.
Financial Times: Investment managers within the environmental, social and governance sector are looking to gain an edge by using artificial intelligence, a computer-driven discipline already employed by some of the world’s most successful hedge funds.
Bloomberg: Managers overseeing trillions in exchange-traded funds have been quietly meeting around Wall Street this week to check the quality controls on their funds, rattled after Vanguard Group Inc. mistakenly added shares of 11 companies, including a gun manufacturer and a private prison operator, to its $578 million socially responsible ETF.
Investor Ideas: Users of commodities increasingly demand greater oversight and understanding of the supply chain, to ensure the commodities they use (e.g. agricultural commodities, energy and precious/non-precious metals) accord with some definition of sustainability. This demand will impact not only commodity spot markets, but potentially the corresponding derivative markets.
Top 1000 Funds: As You Sow, which has worked for more than a decade with activist investors to promote waste reduction and increase recycling of many types of waste, is working with a growing group of 40 investors to educate and engage companies and other investors about risks posed by plastic pollution.
Responsible Investor: Climate and food systems are inextricably linked. The way we produce, process, distribute, eat, and dispose of food contributes to climate change, and climate change affects the future sustainability, security, and equity of the food system.
Opalesque: How much sense does it make for a hedge fund to apply ESG criteria in its investments? It does make a lot of sense on two main counts: pressure from asset owners, and positive performance over the long term. Then there's also a moral imperative.
IPE: The debate over climate change is certainly heating up – both metaphorically and literally. Record temperatures were reported across the globe last month and the UK’s Met Office stated that the top 10 warmest years on record in the UK have all occurred since 2002.
The Asset: Supported by a strong second quarter in 2019, the global green bond market looks set to achieve another milestone as it is predicted to surpass US$200 billion in total issuance for the year.
Financial Times: A private prison operator, a gun manufacturer and Rupert Murdoch’s media groups are among a number of stocks that have been thrown out of Vanguard funds created to invest in companies with strong environmental, social and governance records.
