Summary

Die Verschwendung natürlicher Ressourcen, die Missachtung elementarer Rechte und schlechte Unternehmensführung - diesen Themen wollen sich verantwortungsbewusste Anleger nicht länger verschliessen. Die Kosten unethischen Verhaltens fallen auf uns zurück, denn die Welt ist verletzlich. Wer sich vor bösen Überraschungen schützen will, beachtet deshalb bei der Strukturierung seines Vermögens die Kriterien Ökologie, Soziales und Governance. Die nachhaltige Ausrichtung der Anlagestrategie ist die marktwirtschaftliche Antwort auf drängende Herausforderungen.

Richtig umgesetzt, optimiert Nachhaltigkeit das Risiko-Ertrags-Verhältnis eines Portfolios. Was das impliziert,zeigt die Autorin mit einer Einführung in die Nachhaltigkeitsanalyse, der Erläuterung von verschiedenen Anlagestrategien, zahlreichen Beispielen aus der Praxis sowie mit Beiträgen bekannter Experten.

Das Buch ist auf Deutsch beim NZZ Libro Verlag erhältlich
