How can investors combine financial and non-financial objectives?

Values-aligned investing is becoming increasingly prevalent among asset owners, but the way in which investors incorporate these considerations into portfolios has evolved over time. In the latest episode of Critical Thinking, Marina Batliwalla, Senior Investment Consultant, is joined by Rich Dell, Mercer’s Global Head of Equities, and Tamara Larsen, Mercer’s US Values-Aligned & Sustainable Investments Practice Leader, to discuss how approaches have changed.

They explore how investors are addressing the challenges and capturing opportunities presented by values-aligned approaches, as well as how the thinking around sustainability has evolved from ESG ratings to encompass a much broader focus on stewardship, engagement, and impact.
