In this two-part episode, Analyst Kyle Rudden continues his series on ESG, in collaboration with SGX. Typically, ESG conversations are "long-only equity". Historically, that was the only context for ESG. But ESG is making its way into other asset classes and non-traditional (for ESG) situations. Sovereign ESG is a hot topic lately (Russia/Ukraine). So, too, is ESG and private equity, venture capital, and M&A. And short-selling… that looming (supposedly) "Big Short" as hedge funds short-sell their way to carbon-neutral portfolios (a debated strategy). This Webinar, part 6 in the series, will cover ESG from alt-angles.

Kyle Rudden is an ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) analyst with an alpha-centric approach to ESG research. After all, ESG investing is, first and foremost, investing. "Alpha-centric" does not mean apathetic, however. Quite the contrary. Kyle believes global sustainability – i.e., environmental stewardship, social equality, and economic prosperity – is imperative, and private-sector capital is its cornerstone. Private-sector capital still has fiduciary responsibilities. Profitability is necessary for sustained impact. The Triple Bottom Line. People, Planet, AND Profit.
