In this crucial time of transition it is so important to question the world around us. During the past several years, our podcasts series have been one avenue to explore the most relevant themes and pressing issues for the investment industry. Investing for Tomorrow is our most recent podcast series and, in each episode, we dive deeply into our own research work and that of our members. Typically we start by setting the scene outside the investment industry, before zooming into the specific topic and then finish by encouraging listeners to step into more creative spaces and think outside the box for solutions. In this series so far we have examined topics such as hybrid working; the complexities of stewardship and engagement; and the climate transition – among others (see below for all episodes). You can tune in below or via all major podcast streaming platforms.
It’s those curious, interrogative words. Those ‘whys’, those ‘hows’, those ‘what ifs’ that really cause breakthroughs and new inventions…they enhance our work.
