Author: UK Sustainable Investment and Finance Association December 15, 2023 Duration: 24:53

Before we all wrap up for 2023, we wanted to publish this excellent conversation on whether sustainable investing can deliver strong returns over the long term.

Sally chats with Martyn Jones from Liontrust Asset Management to find out what's going on in the industry. They discuss the cause of the underperformance over the past 2 years in some sustainable investment strategies, how sustainable investing will hold up in the long term, opportunities in the market and much much more.
