A financial planning firm says more people are looking to make sustainable investments as ethics and the environment become a greater priority for society in the shadow of the climate crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Financial Management Bureau, in Kendal, says over the last two years it has seen more clients who want to put their money into environmental, social and governance investing (or ESG), which refers to investments which have a long-term positive impact on society, the environment and the performance of the business.
On Monday, March 15, at 10am, FMB will host an online event with London-based Liontrust Asset Management to help people learn more about ESG investing.
Liz Beavis, managing director at FMB, says while the climate crisis has made many people consider how their investments can be environmentally sensitive, COVID-19 has also put a focus on those that can have a positive effect on people’s health and wellbeing.
Anyone who wants to attend the event should email Ruth at [email protected] for joining details.
