As the Responsible Investment (RI) market becomes more sophisticated, it is becoming increasingly clearer that there is an educational gap in understanding certain concepts. ESG Analysis uses more information to make a more informed investment decision. A tool that explores non-financial risks under the pillars of Environmental, Social & Governance. While Sustainable Investment is a style that seeks to deliver superior risk adjusted returns alongside stronger social and environmental outcomes. During this discussion, the Damian Cottier from The Perennial Better Future Team will explore these separate RI concepts and explain how the Perennial Better Future strategies combine both to pursue strong returns while shaping a better future.

• ESG analysis is an information tool to explore non-financial risks
