Against the backdrop of an uncertain macro-environment, the convergence of two investment strategies continue to be top of mind for investors – thematic investing and sustainable investing. While at first glance these two areas may seem independent from each other, they are not only far from mutually exclusive, but potentially synergistic and complementary to each other in certain circumstances. Following a sustainably-oriented theme means targeting innovative and disruptive industries that could lead to tangible improvements in certain environmental and/or social matters.
In this webinar, we’ll discuss three investment strategies:
- Clean Technology, or “CleanTech,” which describes myriad disruptive technologies that mitigate or inhibit negative environmental impacts.
- Renewable Energy Producers, which identifies producers primarily engage in energy generation from renewable sources such as wind, solar, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biofuels.
- Conscious Companies, which identifies well-managed companies that achieve financial performance in a sustainable and responsible manner and exhibit positive Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) characteristics.
