For Professional Investors only
Investor Briefing Transition to Net Zero (Lugano)
We must halve our CO2 emissions by 2030. If we fail, the increase in global temperatures by 2050 will have catastrophic consequences on our environment and on quality of life around the globe. This urgency to decarbonize requires investors to take credible action now.
How are you planning to substantially reduce CO2 emissions in your portfolio?
How do you navigate the jungle of “green investments”?
What do you need to know about the regulatory framework?
Is the current and most prevalent approach – low carbon strategies focusing on excluding of high carbon emitters in liquid markets – solving the problems?
Join us for this investor briefing to rethink fixed income investing. Get an overview of the most pressing topics and learn how you can invest in sectors relevant to climate change without compromising on financial performance.
