👏 We are pleased that the Waverton European Dividend Growth Fund has been featured in a recent study from Trustnet, highlighting just 18 funds who have completed the trifecta of being managed by a top manager while producing excellent short-term returns and even more impressive long-term performance. Well done to Christopher Garsten, Charles Glasse and the team! 🔗 Find out more > https://lnkd.in/e69Drkz3 📢 Past performance is no guarantee of future results and the value of such investments and their strategies may fall as well as rise. Investors may not get back their initial investment. Capital security is not guaranteed.

Great discussion with Fiona McNally Responsible Investor on double materiality #CSRD and non-financial statements. BNP Paribas Asset Management update in 2024 its #voting policy and oppose companies whose non-financial statements are not independently verified or receive a qualified opinion. We will consider opposing companies failing to produce adequate double materiality assessments under the EU's CSRD next year. #Sustainability #CorporateGovernance #CSRD #ESG #ResponsibleInvesting

Biodiversity remains less established than climate change as a sustainability focus for investors. However, both are strongly interlinked and it is thus not surprising that thematic and impact investors are increasingly placing attention and resources on nature. In this context it is notable that Emerging Market corporate issuers have begun to add biodiversity projects/KPIs to their toolkit in green and sustainability (linked) bonds. Pulp and paper, for instance, is a relevant sector in our universe, especially in LatAm that can contribute to biodiversity loss (forestry, water use etc). Funding and incentives for counter measures such as reduction in water usage and sustainable forestry or the re-introduction of species is thus well needed. Brazilian packaging company Klabin's sustainability linked bond provides an interesting case study here. For more, please have a look at an article my colleague Philipp Buff and I recently wrote via the link below. https://lnkd.in/e4EbNkiv #biodiversity #sustainability #climatechange #emergingmarkets #fixedincome Pictet Asset Management https://lnkd.in/e4EbNkiv
