KLO Financial Services, independent financial advisers based in Warwick, Birmingham and London, have been investigating the impact of the United Nations COP26 Climate Change summit on the future of investing through a collection of Q&As with industry experts in ethical and green investment funds.
Last month, the COP26 summit was held in Glasgow, during which world leaders gathered to devise a plan for securing global net zero emissions and keeping global temperate rise below +1.5 degrees.
The Financial Conduct Authority’s initiative on disclosure means that investments funds will need to demonstrate their decarbonisation pathway to potential investors. This will encourage investors to align their portfolio with the UK’s climate goals.
In the build-up to the conference, Financial Adviser, Matt Booton, and Investment Analyst, Massimo Vanni, have utilised their Q&As to explore green initiatives, funds, and their decarbonisation pathways and how this will impact investments.
They have spoken with Mike Fox, Head of Sustainable Investments at The Royal London Asset Management and Fund Manager at Royal London Sustainable World Trust about how greener funds are more likely to remain profitable in the long-term.
In addition, Matt Booton questioned Will Argent from Gravis Capital on the VT Gravis Clean Energy Fund, including discussing the funds strategy and its position in the current market cycle, as well as the problems surrounding greenwashing.
