      Webinar: Investing for the transition to net-zero

      Pension schemes are now facing increasing government, regulatory, and member demand to manage the financial risks associated with the anthropogenic consequences of the environmental crisis. But how best to manage this transition to net-zero? And, in the rush to invest in carbon friendly assets, are investors potentially missing out on potential returns generated by the transition theme, investing in assets that may not be carbon neutral but have the potential to significantly improve their environmental credentials over time. This webinar will discuss at the transition theme, look at the opportunity set available and ask how this can help schemes achieve superior returns while moving towards a net-zero portfolio.
