Will President Trump pursue the same foreign policy goals if elected for a second term in November? At the very least it will be reasonable to expect similar levels of unpredictability. To some degree this may be a deliberate policy to keep negotiating partners on the back foot.

Big government has become psychologically embedded. Politicians, voters and even central banks have become used to spending money to counter problems, artificially boosting aggregate demand and preventing the natural role of capital markets in bringing periodic change. We outline why we believe the outlook for inflation has structurally deteriorated in our latest paper: https://bit.ly/3ZvPmXj Capital at risk. For professional investors only.

Macroeconomic or cyclical forces appear to have a strong influence on returns. This led us to build a simple, transparent framework to help us understand how different macro regimes can influence the behaviour of individual asset classes.

Christopher Broadley, portfolio manager, said: “Efforts to revive China’s economy are paying off, with monetary and fiscal stimulus powering Chinese equities to their second-best month of returns in five years in September. The equity market had been shunned by investors since the global reopening from Covid, with underperformance compounded by a major property slump. Questions remain around the long-term growth outlook, but these new measures have certainly bolstered this previously stumbling economy. Within our portfolios, we have positioned for further volatility, benefitting from outsized moves in either direction.” Click here to view our chart of the week: https://bit.ly/4b9z354 Capital at risk.

Congratulations to Professor Rob Bauer winner of the Outstanding Research Category of the Insight Investment – University of Oxford Prize for Greening Finance. His influential studies on institutional investors' engagement with companies on sustainability issues have provided crucial insights into the effectiveness of shareholder activism in promoting corporate sustainability. His work on sustainability preferences in investments demonstrated to practitioners how clients’ or beneficiaries’ social and environmental values can be better understood and incorporated into investment decisions, enhancing both performance and alignment with stakeholder expectations.

The Outstanding Research Category of the 2024 Insight Investment - University of Oxford Prize for Greening Finance is awarded to Professor Rob Bauer for his ground-breaking work in #sustainablefinance and responsible investing particularly applied to pension funds. His influential studies on institutional investors' engagement with companies on sustainability issues have provided crucial insights into the effectiveness of shareholder activism in promoting corporate sustainability. His work on #sustainability preferences in investments demonstrated to practitioners how clients’ or beneficiaries’ social and environmental values can be better understood and incorporated into investment decisions, enhancing both performance and alignment with stakeholder expectations. Professor Bauer's work on the financial performance of socially responsible #investment strategies has been instrumental in challenging misconceptions and providing empirical evidence on the relationship between sustainability and financial returns. As the Director of the European Centre for Sustainable Finance at Maastricht University, he has fostered collaboration between academia and industry, translating research insights into practical applications for #sustainableinvesting. Professor Bauer's commitment to rigorous empirical methods and his ability to bridge theory and practice have made him a leading voice in shaping the future of sustainable finance research and education. Professor Bauer said: "I am truly humbled and deeply honoured to receive this prestigious award. It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone involved, including co-authors and partners in the pension and investment world. Hence, I share this recognition with those who inspired and supported me throughout the years. It motivates me to keep striving for a meaningful impact in our field.” The annual Greening Finance Prize is the preeminent prize for this important area of research and practice, and was established through a generous endowment provided by Insight Investment, a £663bn global asset and risk manager. The Outstanding Service category recognises research that helps society better understand how environmental change influences finance and investment, and how economic and financial systems can contribute to achieving global environmental sustainability.

Emmanuel Faber said: “I am grateful to the University of Oxford's Sustainable Finance Group for recognising how sustainability is at the core of a well-functioning economy. My experience with the incredible people at Danone showed how much leadership is a collective dynamic. “I am honoured to accept this award on behalf of the many brilliant colleagues at the IFRS Foundation, our partners and the broader ecosystem - who are working to bring transparency on value chains and time horizons that are critical for urgently-needed more resilient economics. “Since the ISSB was created at COP26, jurisdictions accounting for around 55% of global gross domestic product have started to introduce ISSB Standards in their regulatory frameworks. More are coming. They will future-proof capital markets and the economy they support.” The annual Greening Finance Prize is the preeminent prize for this important area of research and practice, and was established through a generous endowment provided by Insight Investment, a £663bn global asset and risk manager.

Congratulations to the winners of the Insight Investment – University of Oxford Prize for Greening Finance, and to all those nominated, for their outstanding contributions. While sustainability practices have evolved to become a significant consideration in long-term investment decision making, research linking finance and sustainability topics is still in its infancy. To better understand how decisions made by the investment industry are likely to influence the financial and environmental outcomes of tomorrow, investors need research incorporating rigorous financial analysis.

The Outstanding Service category recognises individuals or not-for-profit organisations who have provided outstanding support for the furtherance of #sustainablefinance. 🟢 The 2024 winner for Outstanding Research is Professor Rob Bauer, Professor of Finance (Chair of Institutional Investors) at Maastricht University and holder of the Elverding Chair on Sustainable Business, Culture and Corporate Regulation. The Outstanding Research category recognises research that helps society better understand how environmental change influences #finance and #investment, and how economic and financial systems can contribute to achieving global environmental #sustainability. The annual Greening Finance Prize was established through a generous endowment provided by Insight Investment, a £663bn global asset and risk manager. The winners were announced at the World Forum on Enterprise & the Environment 2024, Oxford University’s flagship event on enterprise and the environment. Abdallah Nauphal, Chief Executive Officer of Insight Investment, said: “While sustainability practices have evolved to become a significant consideration in long-term investment decision making, research linking finance and sustainability topics is still in its infancy. To better understand how decisions made by the investment industry are likely to influence the financial and environmental outcomes of tomorrow, investors need research incorporating rigorous financial analysis. The research prize recognises quality academic work but also highlights the urgent need for closer collaboration between investors and academics to provide evidence that can increase the resilience of the financial system.” Dr Ben Caldecott, Chair of the Prize Panel and the founding Director of the Oxford Sustainable Finance Group at the University of Oxford, said: “The winners have not only advanced our understanding of how environmental challenges intersect with finance but also offered practical solutions that will shape more resilient and sustainable financial systems. At a time when the world faces unprecedented environmental and economic challenges, recognising and supporting such ground-breaking research and leadership is critical.
