What do you know about carbon markets? The latest film in our series on innovation in sustainability explores how high-integrity voluntary carbon markets can help reduce carbon emissions, alongside credible transition plans, by getting corporations and others to take accountability for their emissions through high quality carbon credits that support credible projects around the world. Carbon markets can help channel capital into the hands of people and projects that reduce and remove carbon from the environment, in the most efficient way possible today. “If we can price carbon into the financial system, we can create the outcomes that we’re looking for in our markets”, says Marisa Drew, our Chief Sustainability Officer. Scaling the development of carbon markets is the focus of one of the four Innovation Hubs we’ve established to help advance emerging areas of sustainability.

Our diversified funds are a hit with investors! We help clients in the world’s most dynamic markets to reach their investment goals, leveraging our local expertise and 170 years’ experience to manage their wealth. Our Signature CIO Funds, launched in 2022, are designed to provide investors with exposure to the strategies from our Chief Investment Office. And we’ve just reached USD1 billion in net sales! The four funds vary their diversified asset allocation to suit clients’ risk and income profiles, holding a mix of global equities, global bonds, liquid alternatives, and cash. Diversification is an investment principle that helps to manage the risk in investors’ portfolios. Two of the main ways to diversity portfolios are: • Across asset classes: holding a mix of stocks, bonds and other assets, such as gold • Within an asset class: investments can be diversified within a single asset class, such as holding stocks in a wide range of industries, sectors or markets.
