Responsible investing has become a focus area in the investment industry, but greenwashing is rife and the sales pitch is strong, so what really matters? Research IP brings you the RIPPL Sluice to provide examples of responsible investment in action every month.
Research IP believes independent, objective, and holistic analysis is required to understand the efficacy and nuance of different responsible investment strategies and how these relate to investors’ altruistic objectives. Independent research will give investors something to hang their hat on when evaluating which managed funds suit their objectives. This is particularly relevant for those Kiwis who end up in a Default fund and may wish to make an active choice and change to a different KiwiSaver provider.
We are excited to announce a new partnership for Research IP in New Zealand, interest.co.nz is now providing you access to over 300 RIPPL Effect reports to better “help you make financial decisions”.
Understanding how ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) factors impact investment decisions, and the inclusions and exclusions that comprise a portfolio is important. A better understanding of your investments should help align them with your personal beliefs.
