Summary & Asset Owner Survey Information
ESG 2.0 2015 - Thursday 19th November, Grange St. Paul's Hotel, London
The relationship between asset owners and managers is complex, wide-ranging and rapidly evolving. Asset owners are re-evaluating and optimising relationships with service providers on fees, governance, contracts (IMAs) and client servicing (reporting and monitoring). They are also refining RFP inclusion criteria on the big, increasingly financial environmental and social issues of our time (PRI adherence, climate change, water, pollution, human capital, corporate governance).
There are now just under 1400 signatories to the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), which is discussing the tightening of its six Principles and examining how it might start comparing asset owners and asset managers on their responsible investment commitments.
It is timely, therefore, to hear the latest developments and discuss the implications of this significant development of the ‘principal-agent’ relationship between pension funds and asset managers.
ESG 2.0 2015 – Investment mandates and long-term value creation in the investment chain, is ‘that’ discussion forum.
The results of the: ASSET OWNER SURVEY 2015: "RI Insight - Future Trends in Responsible Investment - How asset owners are upping the ante with their agents" will form the basis for the presentations and debate at this fifth annual conference (formerly titled: ESG in Manager Selection and Monitoring).
