Guide to Responsible Investing

Introduction

Responsible investing is one of the most popular forms of investing currently, and has plenty of attention across the investor age spectrum.

But as the concept has moved mainstream, so it poses a number of key questions. What exactly is responsible investing? How do we categorise it? And what role is there for the fund manager in ensuring their stocks follow responsible investing principles.?

Even when the fund manager believes they have invested in the right stock, they can still get caught out; and they still have to apply the same investment principles as any other investment.

As the fund management industry embraces the concept of reponsible investing wholeheartedly, advisers are faced with challenges of understanding it and selecting the right fund. This guide describes some of the challenges and is worth an indicative 60 minutes CPD
