Analysts
We provide services and resources to help investment analysts effectively integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues into their decisions and engagement activities. Analysts must be employed by UKSIF members to participate in our programmes.
Analyst Seminars
Our seminars highlight the latest thinking on key ESG topics, drawing on a range of experts from business, finance, government, civil society and academia. They provide a forum for discussion and a range of perspectives to help analysts anticipate emerging issues.
Recent seminar topics include:
- 'Dodd Frank Act' Implications for Investment
- EU Corporate Governance Paper
- Peak Oil - Implications for Investment
- Cluster Munitions
- Employee Wellness and Engagement
See Events and Conferences for upcoming seminars. Member analysts have access to more detailed information through the member section of the website. To try out one of our events, contact info@uksif.org, or Become a Member.
