There has been a significant growth and interest in investing on a responsible basis and the area is continually evolving. However, for investors, traditional ‘ethical’ investment solutions have tended to leave a limited choice of companies to invest in, compromising diversification and therefore investment risk/returns. ESG (environmental, social and governance) investing allows investors to take a proactive approach to investing responsibly but not at the expense of their risk/returns. 

In our recent open call for clients and contacts, we asked our US-based Chief Market Strategist, Tony Dwyer to share his views on the US election as we face probably the most complicated election ever imagined. Our Chief Investment Officer, Michel Perera provided an overview of global markets including developments in China, Europe and the UK, particularly as Brexit looms.

While much is still unknown about what the future holds, our articles in the latest edition of News & Views demonstrate how we can help clients through these uncertain times in a balanced way. We cover a whole range of topics from Brexit and the US election, to investing in oncology and battery technology. 

In this article, our CIO, Michel Perera explores six key trends he believes are set to underpin our changing world but which provide clear opportunities for investors.
