Shownotes

When it comes to investing, information really is everything.

Finding the right ESG investment product that delivers returns alongside positive impact, while side-stepping potential greenwash or unethical business practices can be a rocky road – whether you’re an institutional investor, a wholesale investor, or a financial advisor. 

Here to shine a light on the right path is Aman Ramrakha. With almost two decades of experience leading research across banking, ratings, and governance solutions, Aman is the new executive director of research at Rainmaker Information.

In this episode, senior journalist and host Rose Mary Petrass sits down with Aman to unpack the evolution of ESG investing research – from early genesis into the future and the harnessing of artificial intelligence (AI).

Rainmaker Group is owned by ISS STOXX, publisher of FS Sustainability.
