Climate Leader Insight - CIO Perspective: Augmenting the Human Element of ESG Investing with AI/ML and Big Data

Information

Efforts to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels is an example of the intensifying ESG challenges facing global investors. As they seek to generate value and protect capital, they are increasingly incorporating ESG factors to identify top performing investments while managing uncertainty, such as climate risk. 

Can artificial intelligence and machine learning enhance investors’ abilities to identify more plentiful investment opportunities and to manage hard-to-measure risks more prudently? Are there limitations or disadvantages to integrating AI/ML and is Big Data producing a signal or
generating noise? Will advanced analytical techniques augment or overwhelm the human element? Hear perspectives from two investment leaders, Oggie Sosa, CAIA, FRM, Chief Investment Officer at Breckinridge Capital Advisors and Lauren Sercu, CFA, Managing Director and Head of Impact Investing at Sepio Capital.
