On the Evolution of Sustainable Investing and Constructing More Resilient Portfolios
In this episode of Sustainability in Conversation, we welcome our new co-host, Catalina Secreteanu. Catalina has worked in the sustainable investment space for the past 17 years, holding roles at UKSIF and Sustainalytics in the UK and Australia. During that time, she’s had a front row seat to how the industry has evolved. She shares her thoughts on where the market has been and where it’s going, as well as the challenges and opportunities along the ways.
Melissa and Catalina also sat down with Bin Dong, Lead Analyst, ESG Methodology, and author of the report ESG Resilience in Focus: What the US-EU Divergence Means for Portfolio Performance. Building on analysis from a previous publication, this report examines how portfolios adjusted for material sustainability factors perform under pressure in US and EU equity markets. Bin shares the most recent findings and explains how investors could leverage the insights for their own approaches.
