EQ is hosting a seminar on impact investing in London on Tuesday 2 October.

by Ben Faulkner, 29th August 2018

The event is designed to raise awareness of impact investing – an investment approach that aims to make a positive contribution to society or the environment, alongside an attractive financial return.

Attendees will hear from Damien Lardoux, manager of EQ’s Positive Impact Portfolios and two leading fund managers; Tim Crockford, manager of the Hermes Impact Opportunity Fund, and Julien Bras, co-manager of the Allianz Green Bond Fund.

Damien Lardoux, Portfolio Manager at EQ, said: “We are at an inflection point for impact investing with increasing interest in this area from all types of investors. The aim of this event is to help make impact investing a core part of the conversation when advisers speak to clients about their investing preferences.”

Good Money Week is the annual campaign to help grow and raise awareness of sustainable, responsible and ethical finance. This year, it takes place between 29th September & 5th October 2018.
