Sustainable investment has moved from being a niche activity to become mainstream over the last few years. Environmental, Social and Governance Assets under Management (AuM) are forecast to account for over 20% of all AuM by 2026, as per a PWC study conducted in 2022. 

Investing sustainably and ethically is a minefield. Building on the framework provided by the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct, CFA UK have created a suite of case studies to help investment professionals navigate awkward or contentious situations in sustainable investment.

To make it easier for you to find what you need, cases are organised by job role. Each case tackles ethical and conduct challenges outside of regulations in any specific jurisdiction. There are eight job roles in total, and we are looking to constantly improve them to make sure they are useful for your day-to-day job. If you have feedback on how we can improve, fill out a quick survey and we'll take into account your suggestions.
