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 helps many of our consulting clients navigate the maze, but no one client is the same. For more context, our research paper, Beneath the Surface of Responsible Investing, takes a deeper look at the investment merits of different managed fund approaches applied in New Zealand, Australia, the United States, and Europe. 

We bring you the RIPPL Sluice to provide examples of responsible investment in action every month.
