Insurance Asset Risk and J.P. Morgan Asset Management have launched the third edition of their annual research report into the sustainable investing practices of insurers.
This year's report focuses on the challenges faced by insurers in decarbonising their investment portfolios in an increasingly complex and fragmented 'sustainable landscape'.
- Should one let the carbon footprint of the portfolio rise in the short-term knowing it will fall in the long-term?
- Is there a point in engaging with extractive industry companies, when one knows they have transition plans?
- What if cutting down a tree was better for the environment then letting it live through its life cycle?
- Where are the investment opportunities of that transition?
- How to balance the time needed for ambitions to reach maturity and the urgency coming from civil society pressure?
None of these questions have easy answers, but they are – along with many others - top of insurers' minds. In this report by Insurance Asset Risk and J.P. Morgan Asset Management, insurers candidly share some of the solutions they are exploring.
The report is free to download here.
