How should equity investment managers engage with ESG?

ESG standards weigh ever-heavier on the minds of equity investment managers. According to Andreas Posavac of investor relations platform Ipreo, lightening the load requires proactive engagement with the trend by issuers prepared to wade into the market to speak to investors.

He says considering the kind of governance shortfalls that activists quickly pick up on is crucial, but that integrating this with clear ESG definitions will result in stronger long-term relationships in the market.
