About this book

This book examines the new impacts and opportunities for asset managers based on the EU Action Plan for Sustainable Growth, which creates new standards, frameworks, and definitions for redirecting capital for sustainable growth. This approach disrupts the existing sustainability practices in asset management and requires asset managers to combine understanding of new portfolio engineering approaches with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) logistics and the EU taxonomy. The implications of this transformation affect theoretical models and current forms of asset management. Providing frameworks and tools to tackle the new requirements to create new business opportunities, this book is valuable for asset management professionals, practitioner, scholars, and students.
