Episode 40: Climate risk – what can investors do about it?
It’s well accepted that climate change presents a significant risk for long term investors and that they need to consider both the risk and opportunities the transition to a low carbon economy creates. But what practical role can investors have in reducing climate risk in their equity portfolios? Dr Wilma de Groot, Portfolio Manager, Managing Director, Head Quant Equities Portfolio Management at Robeco provides her thoughts on how direct voting and engagement can be the most effective way to achieve meaningful change. Dr de Groot also discusses her recent research into voting patterns of US asset managers in relation to environmental proposals. With thanks to Stephen Dennis, Head of Robeco Australia, for his assistance with this episode.
