sriServices and Fund EcoMarket news

This edition includes links to partner events (the first of which is 10 am today - see below), numerous wonderfully diverse new articles  by our (16) fund manager partners  -  and a great market overview / annual feature by Investment Life and Pensions Moneyfacts editor Richard Eagling.   

I'd like to again thank Richard for the work his team puts in to producing this feature.  In addition to enabling you to catch up on market activity (you will find information on everything from MiFID ii to the wonderful new Make My Money Matter campaign, via Black Lives Matter and recent  climate amendments to the Pensions Bill) - I'd also suggest you look at the performance table on the third page... in brief - wow.   You can download a pdf of the four page feature via this link .  

In other news -  we can now report that our annual 'SRI Services and Partners' Good Money Week event on 21 October will now be a 'virtual' event. 

The format will be broadly unchanged from last year - presentations and panels from all - or almost all - corners of this market, although sadly not ending in the bar (or more precisely - the conservatory) this year  - although the journey home should be easier!  

Event Details and a sign up link are available here.  (& FYI we have however reserved the Barbican again for 2021  - if you like to start planning your diary early!) 

You may also be interested to read about the continued rapid increase in use of our Fund EcoMarket fund tool (up nearly 50% from last year - so far/ytd) and what people are searching for - last week's blog is linked here. 

And finally we'd like to extend a warm welcome to our most recent SRI Services / Fund EcoMarket partner - 'BNY Mellon' - we can't do this without the support of our partners! 

There's lots more to report but this newsletter is getting too long so it will have to wait...

With best wishes, stay safe & happy reading (you will find it time well spent - the quality of many of these articles, thought pieces and videos is exceptional)...
