PWM invited seven leading figures in private banking and asset management to discuss the role climate change and sustainable investing considerations are having within the industry. Topics covered included the key drivers for sustainable investing and the prevalence of thematic funds
Sustainable Investing
Factoring in the environment
With a growing population and climate change putting pressure on natural resources, asset managers are having to factor ESG issues into their investment decisions

Turning long-term trends into sustainable profits
The increasing demand for luxury brands and an ageing global population are two long-term trends that thematic funds are looking to target.

Agriculture provides food for thought
A rising global population, increased wealth in the developing world and the growing biofuels industry all demand increased agricultural output, which a number of new funds are looking to target, writes Elliot Smither.

ESG principles move into the mainstream
As awareness of climate change issues increase, providers of SRI products are enjoying increased demand, with investors attracted by the impressive returns these vehicles have displayed. Ceri Jones reports.

Backing the right horse
The premise behind thematic investing, picking the long-term winners from global trends such as reducing carbon emissions and ageing populations, strikes a chord with wealthy investors, writes Elisa Trovato

Downturn boosts investors’ faith in SRI products
The European SRI market remains dominated by institutional investors, writes Elisa Trovato, but interest among private investors is growing as the fallout from the financial crisis leads people to consider investing in a more responsible way
Keeping an eye on the future
Investors looking to benefit from global developments can access an expanding range of themes, in either multi- or single-themed approaches. But both are a long-term investment, writes Elisa Trovato

Megatrends unstoppable in driving global changes
Neil Dwane, CIO Europe of RCM, the equity managers of Allianz Global Investors, outlines the six global investment themes he believes are reshaping our world

The long-term challenge of feeding the world
Not many asset classes show as clear an upward trend as agriculture. With the world’s population steadily increasing, rising demand for food is inevitable, and Pictet’s Agriculture Fund is looking to take advantage of the considerable opportunities in this sector, reports Ceri Jones
