UHNWIs are more and more looking to increase their investments in sustainable assets, especially among the next generation. But they – and their advisers and managers – are hampered by the lack of quantitative and outcome oriented data. This fireside chat brought two pioneers in the field of sustainable investment from some of the world’s biggest asset owners to share their approach to sustainable investing with our audience of UHNWIs:

• Regulatory and policy requirements in the sustainable investing space and how that is driving demand from different types of clients
• Value vs. values and how clients should think about future returns from their assets
• Highlighting significant, differentiated impacts on long-term risk and return projections across different time horizons and geographies
• How the macro backdrop has impacted sustainable investing, including the cost of living, Ukraine/Russia, the energy crisis and the impact of COVID
• Nature in addition to the climate piece (as part of the E of ESG)
• The role of philanthropy in being more catalytic and spurring private investment
