On this episode we had an insightful conversation with Troy Mortimer, who is a Sustainability & Responsible Investment (SRI) expert and until very recently the UK Head of the SRI practice at KPMG. Troy has worked globally across multiple industries, primarily asset management, over the last 20 years. He has extensive knowledge and experience relating to governance and risk, due diligence, engagement, assurance reporting and responsible investment / ESG practices to sustainability related conversations at companies and with investors. Some highlights: Institutional investors and regulators are starting to hold businesses up to a new bar. Savvy investors need to assess investments based on emerging risks. How to conduct a responsible investment due diligence. “I remember looking at one client's sustainability report that was over 500 pages, thinking, that's not an efficient way of getting information back into these key allocators of capital.” What really is a game changer is when an asset manager might push back in a constructive way on a client saying, “Here's why we think you would want to avoid this particular type of investment, or why there's a compelling argument to invest in this particular transition, or these best in class companies because of reason x, y, z.” Mark Carney said last week in in a speech that ... we can't isolate or self isolate from climate change”. So there's learning opportunities in this current situation that we really need to latch on to. Because there will be other challenges as we move ahead. And we need to make sure that we've taken those learning points and to adapt them because the situation will definitely be different” “My point with the SDGs, and frankly, with any kind of impact is that there's always going to be positive and negative impacts related to any investment. And where I found the true leaders in impacts methodology reporting, have held themselves out is to demonstrate that actually, they report both on the positive impacts as well as some of the negative impacts.” “There is good compelling argument for ESG, it has withstood a strong market shock. It benefits us all as humans on this planet, as members of society, and pastoral cares of this world that we're going to give on to our kids. This has led to introspection on what is our broader purpose as companies as individuals. The time of self-isolation has given us time to take stock of that.” Quality of investments will be key as we move out of the Covid-19 crisis. “If I had a call to action for asset owners, it would be to do your best to try to reward those companies that are making an effort to be transparent.” “The key thing is start to take action in your own way. have those conversations within your your respective companies, amongst your colleagues, inquire what's being done, look at what's going on within your own pension, and your own investment portfolio. But start to take small consistent movements, and be purposeful with it.” Time Stamp: [02:42] What is sustainable and impact investing?

Aquila Group is a leading investment manager in real asset solutions.  Its sustainable investment strategy focuses on investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency, infrastructure, residential real estate, green logistics as well as timber and agriculture.  Founded in 2001 by Dieter Rentsch and Roman Rosslenbroich as one of the first German alternative investment firms, Aquila Group currently manages EUR 11.2 billion for institutional investors worldwide (as of 31/03/2020). Lars Meisinger is Head of Aquila Capital’s international client advisory and corporate development. Prior to joining Aquila Capital in 2016, Lars was responsible for strategic product development at UBS Asset Management. He previously served as Chief Operating Officer at BlackRock Alternative Investors for the EMEA region. His long professional experience includes eight years in management roles at Man Group and senior positions at AXA Investment Managers in both London and Frankfurt. Lars holds a master's degree in economics from Maastricht University and a bachelor's degree from Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Frankfurt. He is a Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA). Alexander Lenz was recently appointed CEO Asia Pacific at Aquila Capita. He is based in Singapore and has worked in the renewable energy sector since 2007.   Prior to joining Aquila Group in 2020, Alexander was the CEO of Conergy where he focused on development and investment in solar PV assets, both utility scale and behind-the-meter C&I, across the Asia Pacific region.  Previously, when Conergy was part of a global group, Alexander was the CEO & President APAC, responsible for the group’s business in Asia Pacific and the Middle East, with a focus on project development, turnkey EPC contracting, and O&M of utility scale solar PV assets in the region.  Before moving to Asia, HE was Head of Corporate Development in Conergy’s headquarters in Hamburg.  Alexander was previously a consultant in the Restructuring and Corporate Finance practice of Roland Berger Strategy Consultants in Berlin and in the management consulting practice of Deloitte in Duesseldorf.  He holds a master’s degree in Economics from Maastricht University, in The Netherlands. Highlihgts: Our business focuses on real assets or essential assets, renewable energy, real estate, timber and agriculture. "We are moving the goalposts away from ESG steadily to impact in the future, where it's not only about compliance with environmental aspects, social and governance aspects." "... one of the very few independent investment managers in Germany, and in operation for 20 years, is in my view, a strong indication of the vision that the two founders set out Roman and Dieter." “We want to bring to the table smart capital, as opposed to passive capital that is abundantly existing, but doesn't really get to the point.” There is an interest in investing in Asia. More institutional investors in the region are interested in increasing exposure to renewable energy and sustainable investments. We support by not just creating our own renewable energy offering but by helping create a broader universe of offering for renewable energy that benefits everyone. The renewable energy market is constantly changing you need to stay ahead, stay intellectually curious and have the ambition to analayse the market and create sound investment decisions.

Ben Constable-Maxwell is Head of Sustainable and Impact Investing at M&G Investments, leading the strategy on impact investing as well as covering sustainability issues such as climate change and the circular economy.  He has been central to the development of ESG integration within M&G’s investment processes and has supported the development of ESG solutions for clients across asset classes.  Ben plays an active industry role as a member of various sustainable and impact investment initiatives, interacting with companies, policymakers, NGOs and other investors. He is a Trustee at Firefly International youth organisation, which provides educational and mental health support for young people in conflict-affected areas in the Balkans and Middle East.  Previous to joining M&G in 2003, Ben spent four years with the Equities team at Invesco Perpetual.  He has an honours degree in Classics from the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Highlights:  “We have a responsibility to integrate ESG across our suite of investments and asset classes” If you think about the the issues that drive performance, the issues that really can cause major blow ups, often they're ESG related. Data breach, oil spills, falling faul to a major diversity and inclusion related scandal are all things that can hit the reputation and bottom line of consumers. We just think you have to take into account all these risk whether ESG funds or not, right across all $350B assets. “We have a suite of ESG funds that covers different asset classes. Over the last 10 years, in particular the past 4-5 years, the ESG integration programs across M&G started in equities and fixed income, but is now broadening out to all asset classes on behalf of clients. All of them now say they embrace and integrate and ESG approach.” We have to and our clients wants specifically designed funds with clearly articulated ESG integration programmes  Impact financing fund - Private debt investments in liquid debts investments that have a net positive impact such as social housing, energy efficiency and green buildings, renewable energy infrastructures ESG needs to be managed and communicated just as how the risk function has evolved over the past 10-15 years. There is expectation from clients that ESG is an important part of the process. It’s not just the ESG team, it has to come from the leadership. Companies are not just seeing this as a leadership issue, they are seeing this as a survival issue. Shifting from competitive, moated competitive advantage thinking to a open-minded, supportive, collaborative approach. Mindset shift in healthcare sector with Covid - the role is not just to protect your IP and generate super normal returns but to provide healthcare and save lives. M&G Triple “I” framework: Investment, Intentionality, Impact. Investment: sustainable business models, good company, long-term. Intention comes from purpose, clarity of purpose and authenticity. Examples of KPIs - Millions of tons of greenhouse gas saved, avoidance of virgin material and use of virgin forest. Millions of trees saved, millions of people accessing financial services in underserved communities. Move from a shareholder primacy perspective to a stakeholder responsibility perspective. A company should genuinely be thinking about its responsibilities to all stakeholders and future generations. Impact adjusted accounting approach - we need a new accounting system for the 21st century. Collaboration is at an all time high, to navigate the complexity of changes and behaviours we need.  Time Stamp: [03:00] What is sustainable and impact investing? [05:00] What does M&G do?

42: Ben Constable Maxwell of M&G Investments: Redesigning Capitalism With Purpose

On today’s episode we are doing something different: we are sharing with you a session that I called “The Sustainable Investment Dilemma”, a conversation I hosted as part of The CogXtra weekly event series, covering in this opportunity the subject of “Sustainable Business – How Industry is addressing the Climate Crisis”. In our case, the financial industry. As my co-panellist I brought together two guests: Amy Clarke, who is Co-Founder & Chief Impact Officer of Tribe Impact Capital, and  Troy Mortimer, who is Responsible Investment and ESG Advisor at ILA & Partners.  If you did not know them already, I highly recommend that you also listen to the individuals episodes we recorded previously. You can also read her Bios at the end of these notes.  As part of the event I also shared a short Video introduction to the recently launched film “Our Planet: Too Big To Fail”, which is a 42-minute film that explores the risks of inaction, the impact of investing-as-usual, and the role the finance sector can play powering a sustainable future. I wanted to bring this to your attention to ask you to watch it and share it, so we can all take proactive actions! You can watch the video on ILA & Partners’ website - Media section: http://bit.ly/ILAmediaV I also thought this is relevant to set the tone ahead of our conversation, but most importantly, I wanted to shine the light on one of the best tools we have to create awareness and understand how interconnected the industry is to every part of society and the world at large. Please note that we had a couple of technical challenges that were all resolved during the first few minutes, but I wanted to make sure you had access to this valuable content. Enjoy !  Highlights: “If we can create a much healthier relationship with our wealth, and the purpose of our wealth, then actually we should be able to fix, repair, increase resilience, and ultimately regenerate the relationships with each other and with nature.” Amy Clarke 50th anniversary of Milton Friedman's seminal essay that was penned and then printed in the New York Times Magazine “there is a real sense that the values and belief systems upon which we have built this global finance system aren't right, they're not fit, they're not robust.” There is the rise of the BCorp movement and the use of BLab tools during the lockdown has risen exponentially. “Impact investing is about helping wealth holders reconnect with the purpose of their wealth. The word wealth comes from two old English 13th century old English words, meaning well being, we've lost the well being and wealth along the way. And it's become singularly focused on financial performance.” Amy Clarke “I see this as a behavioral inertia challenge. Financial institutions are comprised of individuals, we need to look at how we incentivise these individuals, how we are rewarding them and how we associate value with their actions.” Troy Mortimer We can transition not all but a lot of companies through to becoming a force for good. “We need a just transition, quickly and effectively where finance, regulation and policy play a role. We need a carrot and a stick.” Troy Mortimer How do we move beyond (Only) preaching to the converted? The later we leave it, the steeper the transition is going to be - Mark Carney The more we pushback regulation deadlines, the more uncertainty it creates. Ultimately, its better to takes the operational learnings in Covid and behaviour change and apply it to compliance and regulation. Bernard Looney, CEO of BP, a different style of leadership. Moving away into a more human style of leadership. We need to use AI to help change behaviours in the right direction. Passive ESG funds should be able to demonstrate intent. Its important to populate the empirical evidence and convince the skeptics of the economic data with the language that they know. “We have outperformed the benchmarks. There is more than enough data to show that these type of investments are resilient on up and down cycles, which is why we are seeing huge flows into ESG.” Amy Clarke “As a bellwether for market sentiment, its phenomenal, because we can now see everybody is looking for safe harbours and safe harbours of businesses with these kind of resilience built in.” “Investors should be thinking - Well, I understand that there is some volatility right now, but in the mean time, I’m investing for something larger. What you wil see is that over the long-term, it starts to come back in financial returns.” Troy Mortimer As Tim Geithner said, at least in relation to the US financial crisis and how they had resources large enough to do anything about that crisis , but I think financial resources will not be enough in relation to the Sustainability challenge we face. And we will not have time to react and fix things. But we must be proactive.

Enjoy this epidose!  Highlights: Being good is good business. Beating benchmarks and creating a pot at the end of a period just heuristics. These are just shorthand. We don't live in an isolated bubble called the financial world. We live in the real world, in real communities with real neighbours in the real space. In reality, we control most of the capital markets in the world, so we have the ability to shape the world in a way that is beneficial to us. The reason you invest is you want to grow the economy that you want to live in. Every investment you make has an impact on your life, not just on your portfolio but on your life. Challenge -> Misunderstanding Adam Smith - the moral philosopher: “happiness, perhaps the preservation of his existence again, all right, his contentment, happiness here means contentment, the preservation of his existence, his very life depends upon what its preservation preserving what the prosperity of society“. COVID has generated the debate. What is it that we as a developed society care about? We should care about the life of all citizens including citizens who are not economically productive - that’s what pensioners are in harsh economic terms. Do we care about citizens’ lives or do we care about pure financial economic growth? We have a shared assumption, the shared assumption that we have is that it's possible in the financial sector to combine being really technically excellent at what you do, while at the same time being truly a decent human being. We call it being nice. We are privileged because of how much we get paid and where we are, therefore we should reach out to help those around us. It’s about how much giving of your time and how much do you empathise. We see ourselves as the pebble that maybe can help start the avalanche that can change the market for better. I think we are part of that movement. The key is to make change for the better. It’s not what we do, its who we are. Who we are then produces what we do. But you start with the human first, not the product. High active share managers, even the ones that are not skilled outperform benchmark and everybody else after fees from that position. People use the word alpha. I don't like the word alpha, its value. We pay half of our bonuses on “being nice”. We invented the idea of engagement. Doing stewardship is a better way of enhancing value over the long-term. I'm absolutely convinced that the trend is that it will become almost impossible for people to invest in index without investing in stewardship.  I worry that if ESG becomes a trend, it becomes a label. If it becomes a label, it becomes a tick box exercise. When we talk about ESG factors, however, it seems like the market wants to have a specific box that they want to put everything into it rather than the nuance. It’s the nuances of what sustainability means, what governance means, that adds value in reality. What moves companies is not just financials. There are lots of intangible assets in some of the biggest companies, in brands and reputation. Culture in banks is more important than measuring the financials. On climate change and carbon investments, to solve the problem you need 3 things to happen: Convince the company to close down or change business model Find alternative sources of what the company does Convince consumers to shift consumer behaviour Encourage oil major to shift to cleaner energy Advocate regulators to move to clean EV Change consumer behaviour e.g. move away from fast fashion and meat. Invest in alternative visions and technology. It's not a one-pill solution. You have got to do all these things. We are not interested in virtual signalling. COVID has taught us that extreme events can whack society in major ways. When I judge myself, I genuinely do not think that success is money or position or title. I think success is helping others. We receive what we have in trust from God and we have to pass it on to the next generation Every day “I judge myself”: What have I really done to make an impact?  I think success is helping others If I know I’ve not done what I should do. I ask myself, have I done the best I could, in giving something back?

Yuni Choi focuses on the investment portfolio of RS Group. She has 14 years of investment experience across public and private equities and in multi-asset portfolio management. Before joining RS Group, Yuni was Vice President at TAU Investment, an impact-driven private equity firm investing in the apparel supply chain.  Prior to TAU, she worked as a Senior Investment Analyst at Mirae Asset Global Investments, focusing on fundamental analysis and investment in Asian public equities. She is also an angel investor and has advised a dozen social entrepreneurs over five years. A native of South Korea, Yuni earned her MBA from Columbia Business School and also holds a BA in Business Administration from Yonsei University. She received her CFA charter in 2011. Highlights: The stages the RS Group - Single family office has gone through and the lessons learned  Total Portfolio Investing and Bended Value Investing in Sustainalytics in 2009 in order to support the mainstream ESG investing community Focus on natural capital and nature based solutions and launching of a design funding window with Convergence Finance. “Its really important to understand the team. We see a lot of ESG funds, with the bigger asset management firms they have very shiny presentations that are very well organised but in the end what gives us the real insights is talking to the managers and understanding how they implement the ESG framework. The magic is really getting to know them” We believe closely monitoring and engaging managers is also our duty as a responsible investor. “One of the fundamental challenges is that positive and negative externalities are not fully priced in. This means coal miners or harmful oil and gas exploration projects can still access funding at a rate not too different from green projects.” When ecosystem services are properly valued, companies will not be able to justify damaging natural resources to increase their profit, such as producing palm oil from cleared lands or overfishing or use of unsustainable fishing methods. “We sincerely hope that sustainable investing does not remain as one type of investing but becomes the only way of investing.” Many investors still think that moving their capital to ESG ETFs is enough, but in our opinion, while ESG ETFs are better than traditional ETFs, they are not the best solutions. There is no active company engagement, no fundamental ESG research investors who need to understand ESG label itself is not enough. They need to move their capital into strategies that have a really robust ESG integration. We want to see more asset managers, more banks actually investing in the ESG talents in the region.

Jason Mitchell is Co-Head of Responsible Investment for Man Group plc. He is responsible for directing the development of impact, thematic and norms-based investment strategies as well as the broader integration of ESG criteria across asset classes and multi-asset solutions. Jason also acts as advisor on funds where ESG, impact investing, engagement and norms-based screening represent a principal feature of the strategy. He co-chairs Man Group’s Stewardship & Active Ownership Committee. He speaks and writes widely on social and environmental issues, most recently in the FT and London Review of Books. He also hosts ‘A Sustainable Future’, an award-winning podcast about what we’re doing today to build a more sustainable world tomorrow. The podcast profiles organizations, leaders and academics who are examining all facets of sustainability, from climate change and migration to governance and global norms. The podcast provides an open, educational resource to anyone interested in exploring approaches to sustainable, responsible investing. Highlights: Jason works on better management of ESG at a portfolio level. What happens to ESG when elevating from a typical single issuer or single security measures to portfolio allocation of capital. “We actually think that cultivating different types of approaches is actually a huge positive for us because when you think about all these businesses ... as individuals streets or lanes all meeting at one intersection that  ... kind of feels like Piccadilly square, it's just noisy loud. And at that intersection when it comes to this space you find differing, sometimes conflicting expectations, approaches and implementations of, let's say ESG. My point is that the intersection is an incredibly powerful way to understand what we want to build.” What are we solving for? What is the end game? ... The bigger end game is always how are you better at understanding the risk ... and how ultimately you can elevate this up to asset allocation strategies. When we think about long term versus short term time horizons or preference around ownership periods, there is also materiality concerns. The big innovation has to be data oriented. “It's been a complete sea change over the last 12 to 24 months, reflected in RFPs - requests for proposals - where clients are asking for information in a way that they haven't before.” There is a clear leadership effect with the biggest pension funds on the Top 50 leading the way and influencing the rest. The analogy to showing an example of one sustainable investment in a presentation to clients to when “Charlie Chaplin entered a Charlie Chaplin lookalike contest…. Its sort of an empty anecdote because it doesn’t reveal its context.” “One of the best things that I've done and most gratifying things I would say, is producing a chapter for CFA ESG investing certificate, it's chapter eight on portfolio construction and management.” The conversation with CEO of Banco Sabadell asset management in Barcelona sharing why climate action is important Understanding Jason’s personal arc and why he entered into this space.  Importance of being curious is whichever context you choose to pursue.

36: Jason Mitchell - A Sea Change In Responsible Investing

Dirk Hoozemans joined Triodos Investment Management in 2017 as Fund Manager of the Triodos Pioneer Impact Fund. He came from Robeco where he served in various senior portfolio management positions in Rotterdam, Boston and Hong Kong, including portfolio manager of Robeco Global Energy Fund and deputy portfolio manager of the Robeco NV fund. Dirk studied Econometrics at Tilburg University, and is a CFA Charterholder. Triodos Investment Management is a globally active impact investor. They see impact investing as a driving force in the transition to a more inclusive and sustainable world.  Triodos Pioneer Impact Fund aims to generate positive impact and competitive financial returns from a concentrated portfolio of small- and mid-cap companies providing solutions for Triodos’ seven identified sustainable transition themes. Highlights: How Triodos Pioneer Impact Fund works and how hey find companies to invest in. The 7 themes Triodos invests in -  sustainable food and agriculture, renewable resources, circular economy, sustainable mobility and infrastructure, innovation for sustainability, prosperous and healthy people. “The philosophy and treatment of investment management is very much a values based organization in that we change finance ... to finance change, and hence we want to make our capital work for good.” “Where we are different from many other more traditional ESG investors in the respect that a lot of sustainability investors are more ratings based. First and foremost ratings are backward looking. And secondly, they often measure the quality of reporting and not so much the quality of corporate culture or corporate behavior or even corporate future. So, what we really want to do is have a forward-looking sustainability analysis and see how sustainability creates opportunities for companies.” “The trend towards sustainability investment is undeniable and ESG is becoming more and more a mainstream proposition, both retail and institutional. The focus will be on moving beyond ESG and towards more impact.” Resilience in Impact management is a combination of what you specifically do and what you specifically don't do. In the long run, we believe we have a good trifecta or risk, return, impact. Sustainability scores are backwards looking and often measure the quality of the reporting The industry needs more standardisation in data and transparency. Impact Leaders are positive, energetic ... and they walk the talk. Timestamp: [02:49] What is sustainable and impact investing?
