Derivatives are among the most complex products. But their technology is key nowadays, including to address ESG and transition challenges. Managing risks in financial markets, energy or trade would be impossible without them.  👩💻👩🏫 I will be working with a group of experienced professionals from sell-side, buy-side and advisory firms, with a strong academic background including Maria Noemi Doce Deibe, Ana DeLuna Stoetter and Ignacio Ramos Villar, Ph.D. - Insight4.  🔍 In order to address derivatives and other complex financial products with an independent, informed and rigorous perspective, we have created InsightDerivatives – part of Insight4.  👉 We have a clear purpose: to put our knowledge and technology at the service of entities.  🤝 Structuring, negotiating, addressing regulatory changes, managing disputes, empowering your team’s know-how or transitioning to tech-driven structures, are just some examples of how we can help achieve this.  ✍ We will periodically share our insights to help navigate the complexities of derivatives and other complex financial products, speed up negotiations, ease processes, manage risks and handle unexpected scenarios – including early termination. And also, some thoughts on different underlyings – including new ones, such as sustainability.   #financialmarkets #energy #trade #ESG #derivatives #financialinstruments #transition

Neural Alpha CEO James Phare spoke to ESG Investor's Emanuela (Emmy) Hawker about what Responsible Capital was able to reveal about the disclosure of non GHG emissions and alignment to frameworks such as Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). "Due to advancements in emissions-focused metrics and data developed for climate-related reporting, it is “very achievable” for companies and investors to measure non-CO2 emissions via existing instrumentation, estimates, modelling, and remote sensing techniques, says James Phare, CEO of sustainable fintech software and data consultancy Neural Alpha. “For sectors like energy and power generation, this is a regulatory requirement in many places – like the US,” he adds. But reporting is not widespread across sectors. According to Neural Alpha’s Responsible Capital AI tool less than 100 S&P500 companies are disclosing specific annual values for non-GHG emissions. In addition, just a handful have specific non-GHG policies in place." #naturedata #tnfd #AI #nonghgemissions
