Introduction

Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) is a topic that is gaining increasing attention from investors, yet there remains uncertainty as to what SRI actually means. The previously held view was that such an approach was detrimental to investment performance, yet this has been challenged with increasing frequency over the last few years. This seminar will look at whether scheme trustees should consider incorporating an SRI approach into the investment of the fund. Does this conflict with their responsibilities as trustees. What factors should they consider when making this decision. The seminar will also hear from the NPRF about their approach to socially responsible investing.

Who should go?

Pension Scheme Trustees and Managers, Pension and Investment Professionals, HR and Finance Managers and other company executives.
