Overview

Today, clients expect sustainable investment solutions from their financial service provider that are also attractive from a financial point of view. Sustainable investments are therefore an important trend, which is reflected in a growing range of products and strong inflows of funds. The inclusion of environmental, social and governance criteria (ESG criteria) in investment decisions requires financial professionals to have in-depth knowledge of the complex interplay of these ESG factors.

With the continuing training course “ESG-CA Investments”, investment advisors become competent partners of their clients for needs-oriented and risk-optimised sustainable investment solutions. The course teaches the technical basics of ESG in investments and provides an overview of the current legal environment and its latest developments.
