Ethical and Responsible Investing

Head of Private Client Research Simon Kent-Jones joins the podcast to discuss the Ord Minnett Responsible Equities Portfolio, including:

• The key responsible and ethical issues facing investors today;
• How the Portfolio incorporates responsible and ethical considerations into its investment process, including which sectors and stocks are excluded and why;
• How the Australian banks perform from an ESG perspective and how that has changed over time;
• The responsible investing considerations for key Australian stocks such as Qube Holdings (QUB), Transurban Group (TCL), Woolworths (WOW) and Wesfarmers (WES); and
• How the Measurement and Analysis Report (Feb-21) benchmarks the performance of the Portfolio across the key environmental, social and governance factors.

The Responsible Equities Portfolio is part of the suite of Ord Minnett Direct Equity Portfolios available on the HUB24 investment platform.
