Thank you to Responsible Investor for another thought provoking event and to my panel colleagues Stephanie Chow, CPA, CA Kyra Bell-Pasht Richard Brooks for sharing their remarks. - Energy + food + shelter ('poverty trifecta') need to be prioritized while transition Capex continues to be deployed. It's hard to argue the economy is more resilient if people are cold, hungry, and sleepy. - Many climate change risks are uncompensated. The physical risk witnessed by the recent flooding led to GDP and earnings misses. Transition risk is a whole other story (compensated). Need proof? Chart Peabody vs Tesla before and after their transition strategy announcement. Divest with caution! - Investability matters. FI's will naturally gravitate towards attractive risk-return profiles. The wholesale mobilisation of balance sheets is dependent on many important steps: (1.) ramping up R&D (2.) de-risking technology (3.) building capacity - Taxonomies are very practical. They can allow FIs to colour their balance sheet and report their lending mix in manner that can be used as a proxy for future emissions trajectories. They can bridge the lag between the permitting, funding, construction phase of transition CapEx and the ensuing emissions benefit. Defining transition is easy. - Investing in a robust emissions inventory can help FI's demonstrate if they are 'on-pathway' or 'not-too-far-off'. NZBA commitments imply a ~ 3% annual reduction. With clients being under the purview of Canada's cap and trade system, chances are the work is being done for them. Without the compass, one can't even begin to know the direction of travel! A head of sustainable investing of a global asset manager during climate week stated bluntly: "Are we concerned if a company doesn't decarbonize every single year? No we are not. We are invested for the long term." - Solving for climate change is a classic prisoners dilemma. If nobody invests in the transition, everybody losses. If everybody invests in the transition, everybody wins. If someone cheats assuming others will do the work, but everybody applies the same playbook, we're back to square one. The Climate Aligned Financial Act (Bill S-243) tabled by senator Rosa Galvez and team is designed to enhance the resilience of the Canadian financial system and lead to more 'everybody wins' outcomes. #transitionfinance #taxonomies #emissionsinventory

Bonus-Adjusted Scorecard for Well Being: Surprising how simple this could be to manage yet it continues to persist. While scientists continue to explore life on Mars, bankers continue to press juniors like lemons. Aside from running a simple cost-benefit calculation of the marginal unit of input (-> Jr banker cost) to it's marginal output (-> PnL benefit), a metric should be included measuring the overall transaction conversion success rate to the volume of pitching. Similar to portfolio management performance measurement (return per unit of risk, return per unit of externality, etc). Bonus = X + Y +...+ [Employee Well Being] Well Being = a + b + ([PV of extra unit of input] * [% of conversion rate]) The amount of senseless pitching, throwing 'spaghetti at the wall', pseudo half-fast client coverage, not knowing the output’s utility or decision-making ability, or its affect or impact ('move the stock') is still shockingly high. Work-life balance shouldn't be traded like a commodity based on age or company rank. #employeewellbeing #qualityoflife #workflowefficiency

***Indigenous Peoples - Stewards of Nature*** A position embedded into the heart of the Global Biodiversity Framework announced at COP15 in Montreal in 2022. A moving 4-minute video by Chief Harvey McLeod reminding us of the imperative of treating people with dignity, respect, and equality, and to manage nature as a vital source of life. Last night I began a new journey as a lecturer with Maya Kabbara, MBA, CFA at the John Molson School of Business where we are bestowed a great privilege of accompanying a future group of finance leaders through the sustainable investing class. My message - 'aspire to become the portfolio manager that builds just, fair, and resilient economies and communities.' #UNDRIP #DE&I #SustainableFinance #naturebasedsolutions #environmentalcommodities

🚺 Gender Finance 🚺 As we approach the fall issuance period, I wanted to share a crucial document for practitioners, investors, issuers, and ecosystem stakeholders. This reports demonstrates in practical manner how transactions can be structured more efficiently by integrating simple, logical, and ethical elements into framework design and assessments. Sustainable finance, often categorized as green OR social, can be transformed (easily) into a far more integrated approach. This shift will provide issuers and investors with far greater leverage to drive change and create real impact. Each basis point up or down presents an opportunity to impact the valuation of organizations not progressing towards greater diversity, equity, and inclusion ultimately leading to their devaluation over time, and affecting compensation and stock option plans. On the flip side, by positioning portfolios towards leaders in the space, investors can benefit from being invested in organizations that take better decisions, and hence, perform better over time. This simple move can enhance portfolio management outcomes (imo), offering benefits like lower drawdown risk, reduced volatility, and ultimately higher risk-adjusted returns. Finance can be so powerful, why waste it. Fun? I think so. #genderfinance #DE&I #EqualOpportunity #everybodymatters #provideopportunity #communityresilience #economicresilience Clariti
