ESG in Capital Markets – A Market Practitioner’s Experience

Do environmental, social and governance factors matter for financial markets? How can investors incorporate a country’s (rather than a corporation’s) score into their allocation decisions? Is there evidence that either bond markets or equity markets reward good behaviour? Which dimensions matter the most?

In this event, Christopher Mahon will explore possible links between ESG and financial markets.
