The key question of how to extract return on investments from the time, efforts and budgets spent on ESG and climate initiatives continues to be a topic of philosophical discussions amongst alternative asset management firms of all scales of operations.

On the other hand, by now the challenges and the opportunities associated with ESG and climate risk management are well understood. Questions around ratings, difficulties in reconciling between different rating methodologies, reliability of data and disclosures and even regulations have been asked ad nauseam.

These issues transcend front, middle and back-office lines. CIOs have been asked to not only speak to, but to demonstrate how ESG factors play into investment theses.

In this webinar, we will discuss:

• Data – is ESG data much more than a pay to play proposition? what practical solutions are available to help an investment professional dissect, understand and reconcile different rating methodologies to potentially identify asymmetric information?  
• Climate risk - what practical approaches are financial institutions using to quantify climate risk? And what types of scenarios are being considered as part of the exercise?
• Regulations – what practical solutions are available to assist alternative asset managers in navigating through the increasingly complex climate risk related regulations?

Speakers:

• Michael Bugel, Managing Director, Co-head of APAC, AIMA

• Gemini Yang, Advisory Partner, Financial Risk Management, Hong Kong, KPMG China
