Sustainable Investing Seminar

Sustainable Investing Seminar, Saturday, May 4^th

At 1330 on May 4^th we’ll be having a free seminar on Sustainable Investing led by Dr Matt Murphy from UVic.  Craig MacDougall from Vancity Credit Union will be there as well to help answer your questions.

Matt teaches Business and Sustainability in the MBA program at UVic. In 2016, he coached a team of MBA students who won the Business for a Better World case competition at the World Economic Forum, in Davos, Switzerland. The proponent of this competition,  The Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global, asked competitors to design a Portfolio Management Plan that would achieve four key objectives:

• Minimize the carbon footprint of the fund;

• Reduce risks that might strand assets;

• Maximize returns and engagement impact with companies;

• Position the fund to thrive in and drive a world that does not exceed an

   average 2-degrees temperature increase.

Matt looks forward to discussing sustainable investing and sharing the key components of this winning strategy with you.

PLEASE NOTE:  we will be inviting people from other yacht clubs so it’s critical that you let us know if you intend coming (we’ll close reservations 5 days in advance of the event). So, if you are going to attend please let Adrian know  no later than Monday, April 29, by emailing him at volunteer@snsyc.ca .
