Perfect Is the Enemy of Good
Perfection is always difficult to achieve. Whilst we should strive for it in everything we do, including ESG investing, we should also recognise the contribution of improvement, both in terms of providing sustainable solutions and generating investment returns. The session will discuss how independent sustainable analysis and committed engagement efforts are crucial to this philosophy and the approach employed by the Aegon Global Sustainable Equity Fund.

Sustainability Pays Dividends
Investing in companies that operate sustainably leads to better outcomes for all stakeholders, as it demonstrably benefits society by enabling a transition to a low carbon, resource efficient and circular economy. Companies that combine strong dividend and sustainability credentials are more likely to offer visibility of earnings and dividend growth as well as strong total returns over the long term. These enduring beliefs are central to the investment philosophy of the Sanlam Sustainable Global Dividend Strategy. In this presentation, lead fund manager Mark Whitehead presents the strategy and how it is positioned to capture opportunities in the months and years ahead.
