Client Demand vs. Knowledge Gaps: Building the Next Era for RI Products

23 Jun 2026
Fund & Asset Management Hub
Finance & Investment

Investors are increasingly asking for funds that deliver real impact alongside returns—but understanding what sits behind ESG, impact and climate transition labels isn’t always easy. This panel explores how today’s funds are being designed to meet client expectations, close knowledge gaps and ensure credibility. Panellists will discuss ethical screening, climate transition investing and how technology helps turn ambition into measurable outcomes, shaping a more accessible and transparent landscape for responsible investment.

Together, the panel will consider whether funds are becoming more driven by client expectations, what is fuelling this shift and what that means for ESG integrity, transparency and delivery. We look forward to an interactive and open discussion on the future direction of responsible investment funds.
