商品描述

For years, responsible investing has been a bewildering precinct in asset management. To many, the idea of aligning your values with your investment portfolio seemed naive. Slowly and steadily, responsible investing morphed from a movement into an industry on course to command $50 trillion in assets by 2025-- a third of the capital at work in the markets. And yet responsible investing has remained as difficult to traverse as ever. It's drawn fire from critics who've branded the approach "woke capitalism" whilst more "responsible" generations of investors are poised to marshal trillions of assets of their own into the business - we are at an inflection point.

As a responsible investing practitioner for more than 25 years, author Amy O'Brien has taken part in this revolution in asset management. With geopolitical conflicts, economic instability, and climate change fomenting unprecedented "polycrises", she believes there is no more effective way to address the challenges of the 21st century than through responsible investing. Like most tectonic shifts in asset management, responsible investing has been complicated, hard to define, and hard to measure. But doing so is not only possible, it's also imperative.

Over nine chapters, the book takes readers on a journey of the evolution of responsible investing, how it works today, why it's integral to investment considerations, and how we can finally get a grip on its efficacy. It's time to demystify and unpack this invaluable method for managing our assets, and our futures.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

負責任投資多年來一直是資產管理中令人困惑的領域。對許多人來說,將自己的價值觀與投資組合對齊的想法似乎是天真的。隨著時間的推移,負責任投資從一個運動逐漸演變為一個行業,預計到2025年將掌控50兆美元的資產——這是市場上運作資本的三分之一。然而,負責任投資依然難以穿越。它受到批評者的攻擊,這些批評者將這種方法標籤為「覺醒資本主義」,而更「負責任」的投資者世代則準備將他們自己的數兆資產投入這個行業——我們正處於一個轉折點。

作為一名擁有超過25年經驗的負責任投資從業者,作者艾米·奧布萊恩參與了這場資產管理的革命。隨著地緣政治衝突、經濟不穩定和氣候變化引發前所未有的「多重危機」,她認為沒有比負責任投資更有效的方法來應對21世紀的挑戰。就像資產管理中的大多數構造性變化一樣,負責任投資也複雜、難以定義且難以衡量。但這樣做不僅是可能的,也是必要的。

在九個章節中,本書帶領讀者探索負責任投資的演變、當前運作方式、為何它對投資考量至關重要,以及我們如何最終掌握其有效性。是時候揭開這種管理我們資產和未來的寶貴方法的神秘面紗。

作者簡介

Amy O'Brien is the Global Head of Responsible Investing at Nuveen, the asset management arm of TIAA.

Amy was studying biology as an undergraduate at Boston College when the 1992 Earth Summit sparked her passion for sustainable solutions impacting the environment. She became interested in the role that the private sector can play in advancing sustainability and the connectivity between science, policy, and economics. During a graduate school internship at the Council on Economic Priorities nearly 30 years ago, she was able to apply that early interest at a pioneering company in the field of corporate social responsibility research and ratings.

Amy's unique perspective is informed as a member of the "bridge generation," whose career has spanned collaboration with industry pioneers and early adopters (NGOs, faith-based institutions) in the 1990s and 2000s, and into the current global commercialization wave and expansion into the "mainstream." Amy has deep experience in all major facets of the industry including ESG investment data, ratings, and research; shareholder advocacy and stewardship; integration of ESG factors across a wide range of asset classes; sustainable product innovation; and impact measurement and management.

Amy was included among the inaugural list of The 20 Most Influential People In ESG Investing by Barron's Magazine, and in 2021 was awarded ESG Investment Manager of the Year by Women in Asset Management.
