CFAP Sustainable Investing Thought Leadership Group
The CFAP Sustainable Investing Thought Leadership Group provides a forum to advance the dialogue regarding the role of sustainable investing in today's capital markets and beyond.
Join us for an insightful virtual panel discussion on the potential impact of the 2024 U.S. election on markets, with a specific focus on the field of sustainable, responsible, and impact (SRI) investing. This non-partisan event will explore how various electoral outcomes—depending on who wins the White House and Congress—will likely shape public policy that could influence sustainable investing trends for the next four years and beyond.
Nick Ashburn, the Founder and CEO of Personawealth, will moderate our expert panel and will examine key policy areas such as climate change and potential shifts in energy policy tax incentives for green technologies, the DOJ and monopolies, and the future of corporate governance and accountability, especially in a post-Chevron Deference environment.
