EQ Investors (EQ) today announced details of its Future Leaders Roadshow for financial advisers, which begins on Wednesday 22nd May in Southampton. It will see EQ stage events in a total of eight cities across the country.
Speakers include Damien Lardoux, Head of Impact Investing & Portfolio Manager, Louisiana Salge, Head of Sustainability, Matt Hardy, Sales Director; and Dale Scorer, Business Development Consultant.
The roadshow has been organised around EQ’s Defaqto five-star rated Future Leaders portfolios. With a four-year track record, the portfolios use low-cost index funds to generate long-term returns and prioritise sustainability by investing in the most responsibly run businesses.
Matt Hardy, co-host of the roadshow, remarked: “A recent survey by Dynamic Planner of over 80,000 consumers found that 69% of respondents placed at least ‘some importance’ on sustainability in their investments, and this, coupled with the continued rise in popularity of passive investing means the Future Leaders strategy is a great choice for cost conscious sustainable investors.”
Join the EQ team, as they dive into the sustainability process, looking at how and why the EQ Future Leaders portfolios go beyond just negative screening, and are more ambitious than our peer group when it comes to sustainability.
In particular, the roadshow will address:
- Myth Busting: How can you invest sustainably using passives?
- Peer analysis: Can the Future Leaders portfolios provide investors with higher impact at a lower cost than its peer group?
- Investment & sustainability process and performance review.
- Engagement & Stewardship Strategy.
The Southampton event is the first of eight dates across the country with events booked in for:
