Go Woke Go Broke: Navigating DEI and ESG in Today’s Investment Landscape
On March 20th, President Trump will be nearing the end of his first 100 days in office, a pivotal period that may signal shifts in regulatory and policy approaches impacting the investment world. This panel will focus on the implications for investors committed to integrating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into their portfolios.
Join our expert panel as they examine:
• The potential effects of new policies on DEI and ESG priorities in investment decision-making.
• How changing views on “S” factors, like workforce diversity, social responsibility, and ethical practices, may influence returns and risk management.
• Strategies for balancing financial goals with values-based investing in a rapidly evolving political environment.
This timely discussion will offer investors insights into how to navigate the future of DEI and ESG under a new US administration and what it means for sustainable, profitable investing on a global basis.
