Russell Investments

A lot of work has gone into identifying how carbon can be measured, managed and invested in for tomorrow’s green economy. But there is more to the “E” in environmental than carbon. Here we ask: “what is the next big thing in the environmental space?”– for us, it’s water.

At Russell Investments, we are known for our global investment capability and the people we have ‘on the ground’ in over 20 locations researching managers and sharing local market insights.

In the coming years, Responsible Investing will be routine. Understanding how Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) factors impact security prices and portfolio structure will be integrated across the entire industry. Russell Investments has embraced this and has developed – and continues to develop – best practices for our process, portfolios and clients.

More than a quarter of the 200 financial advisers we surveyed are considering more sophisticated options, in particular real return funds when reviewing clients’ portfolios, given the current market environment.
