Description
Today, I’m welcoming Kathryn McDonald to the Opto Sessions podcast, Co-Founder of Radiant ESG. Earlier this year Kathryn and Radiant CEO Heidi Ridley left renowned Quant House, Rosenberg Equities - The ‘Original Quant’ if you read Rosenberg’s website. The duo had decided to take the ESG integration synonymous with their former employer, one step further.I speak to Kathryn about why, with global inflows into sustainable funds up 72% in Q2 2020, ESG is booming right now. We then discuss how Kathryn and Co. have captured this global zeitgeist, in Radiant’s product offering, with two new strategies primed for imminent market release.Kathryn’s commitment to what we now call Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing began over 30 years ago, and I learnt a lot about a sector that added $71 billion in the second quarter of this year. Kathryn identifies the themes she thinks will lend further intrigue to an industry on the lips of market commentators all over the world, and I hope you find the interview as valuable as I did. Enjoy!...Thanks to Cofruition for consulting on and producing the podcast. Want further Opto insights? Check out our daily newsletter: https://www.cmcmarkets.com/en-gb/opto/newsletter
