ESG in Fixed Income: Zurich - 24th October 2019
 
Putting Swiss efficiency into the responsible investment journey
 
Although Swiss investors have long been invested in green bonds, being better able to analyse and assess ESG risks and opportunities in mainstream fixed income portfolios can play a major role in taking responsible investment in Switzerland to the next level. 
 
This workshop will help investors navigate the options and approaches available to manage ESG risks, promote best engagement practices and assess responsible fixed income investment options across geographies and sectors.
